This letter proposes a new method based on ultrafast high energy electron radiography to diagnose transient electromagnetic field. For the traditional methods, large scattering from matter will increase the uncertainty of measurement, but our method still works in that case. To verify its feasibility, a 50MeV electron radiography beamline is designed and optimized, and preliminary simulation of diagnosing a circular magnetic field ranging from 170T∗μm to ∼600T∗μm has been done. The simulation results indicate that this method can achieve point-by-point measurement of field strength. By destroying the angle symmetry of incident beams, the field direction can also be determined. Combined with the advantages of electron beams, ultrafast high energy electron radiography is very suitable for transient electromagnetic field diagnosis.
