We use grating enhanced ponderomotive scattering [1] to in situ characterize ultrashort electron pulses obtained from our femtosecond transmission electron diffractometer [2,3]. The temporal and spatial electron pulse shape is reconstructed employing our particle tracer algorithm taking the complete setup geometry into account. In addition to space charge density effects on the electron pulse duration, the influence of the spatio-temporal source profile is studied to achieve shortest electron pulses at highest coherence.
