Description
Ultrafast electron diffraction using MeV energy beams(MeV-UED) has enabled unprecedented scientific opportunities in the study of ultrafast structural dynamics in a variety of gas, liquid and solid-state systems. The SLAC MeV-UED program began in 2014 and became an LCLS user facility in 2019. Recent strategic planning efforts, combined with user feedback, have identified critical areas for improvement. This work will review recent R&D efforts for enhancing the resolution and flux of the MeV-UED instrument. Additionally, the integration of AI/ML techniques is being explored to optimize facility operations and accelerate scientific discovery. Furthermore, the long-term roadmap includes expanding user support capacity and diversifying beamline capabilities. These developments will open new avenues for explorations in key areas of ultrafast science.
