Knapp, G S; Beno, M A

In order to achieve the ultimate time resolution of a synchrotron source we propose a new experimental technique by which time dependent structural changes can be monitored on the time scale of synchrotron pulse widths. Samples will be studied by a rotating crystal Laue diffraction technique where we rapidly spin the sample and observe the diffraction pattern from a broad band of incident x-rays. A computer simulation is presented of the diffraction pattern time evolution using the parameters for an APS undulator of a phase change in the YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}x} superconductor. We will discuss the application of this and closely related techniques at other synchrotron sources including bending magnets and insertion devices at NSLS and CHESS. 11 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
