Abstract
A scheme for achieving high temporal resolution in gas electron diffraction is proposed, in which time-dependent electron diffraction patterns can be obtained from energy-resolved angular distributions of electrons scattered by molecules in dynamical processes under the presence of a single-cycle THz-wave pulse. Derived formulae of the differential cross section and numerical simulations of electron signals scattered by Ar atoms and molecules show that the temporal resolution of the proposed method can be in the pump-probe measurement without scanning the time delay.
