	Funding: This research has been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515 and DE-AC02-05-CH11231. Ultrafast structural dynamics are well understood through pump-probe characterization using ultrafast electron diffraction (UED). Advancements in electron diffraction and spectroscopy techniques open new frontiers for scientific discovery through interrogation of ultrafast phenomena, such as quantum phase transitions. Previously, we have demonstrated that strong-field THz radiation can be utilized to efficiently manipulate and compress ultrafast electron probes , and also offer temporal diagnostics with sub-femtosecond resolution * enabled by the inherent phase locking of THz radiation to the photoemission optical drive. In this work, we demonstrate a novel THz compression and time-stamping technique to probe solid-state materials at time scales previously inaccessible with standard UED. A high-frequency THz generation method using the organic OH-1 crystals is employed to enable a threefold reduction in the electron probes length and overall timing jitter. These time-stamped probes are used to demonstrate a substantial enhancement in the UED temporal resolution using pump-probe measurement in both photoexcited single crystal and polycrystalline samples. * E.

TUXB04	Fabrication and Tuning of a THz-Driven Electron Gun	1297

	Funding: This work was supported by the Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515 (SLAC) and by NSF Grant No. PHY-1734015. We have developed a THz-driven field emission electron gun and beam characterization assembly. The two cell standing-wave gun operates in the pi mode at 110.08 GHz. It is designed to produce 360 keV electrons with 500 kW of input power supplied by a 110 GHz gyrotron. Multiple gun structures were electroformed in copper using a high precision diamond-turned mandrel. The field emission cathode is a rounded copper tip located in the first cell. The cavity resonances were mechanically tuned using azimuthal compression. This work will discuss details of the fabrication and tuning and present the results of low power measurements.

WEPAB110	Solid-State Driven X-Band Linac for Electron Microscopy	2853
	A. Dhar, E.A. Nanni, M.A.K. Othman, S.G. Tantawi SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	Funding: This work was supported by the Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. Microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) is a technique used by scientists to image molecular crystals with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). However, cryo-EMs remain expensive, limiting MicroED’s accessibility. Current cryo-EMs accelerate electrons to 200-300 keV using DC electron guns with a nA of current and low emittance. However at higher voltages these DC guns rapidly grow in size. Replacing these electron guns with a compact linac powered by solid-state sources could lower cost while maintaining beam quality, thereby increasing accessibility. Utilizing compact high shunt impedance X-band structures ensures that each RF cycle contains at most a few electrons, preserving beam coherence. CW operation of the RF linac is possible with distributed solid-state architectures* that use 100W solid-state amplifiers at X-band frequencies. We present an initial design for a prototype low-cost CW RF linac for high-throughput MicroED producing 200 keV electrons with a standing-wave architecture where each cell is individually powered by a solid-state amplifier. This design also provides an upgrade path for future compact MeV-scale sources on the order of 1 meter in size. * Jones, C. G. et al. ACS central science 4, 1587-1592 (2018). ** D. C.
