A sketch of the experimental setup. A 3.7-MeV pulsed electron beam (blue) is directed towards a nitrogen gas jet (grey). The gas jet is introduced into the vacuum chamber using a pulsed nozzle (black). The pump laser pulse (red) is deflected by two ring-shaped mirrors. The laser propagates at a small angle (∼5°) with respect to the electron beam as it traverses the target, and is then deflected away from the detector by the second mirror. The electron diffraction pattern is recorded with a phosphor screen located 3.1 m downstream from the interaction region. The unscattered electron beam is transmitted through a hole in the phosphor screen.
