Abstract

We demonstrate electron diffraction from a polycrystalline aluminum foil sample using 100 keV electron bunches generated from laser-driven plasma wakefield. Our proof-of-principle experiment shows the potential of high repetition rate, low energy electron pulses from laser wakefield accelerators for ultrafast electron diffraction applications.
