The region of the spectrum from 0.3 to 5 THz is of great interest for several experiments in different areas of research. A THz radiation source can be produced at SPARC as coherent transition radiation emitted by either a compressed or longitudinally modulated beam intercepting a metal foil placed at 45° with respect to the beam propagation. Results on the characterization of the THz source at SPARC are described in the paper.

Shining a photocathode at the same time with an UV laser able to extract electrons and an IR laser properly tuned could influence the way the electron beam is generated. Such a process is under investigation at SPARC, through direct measurements, as much as through computer codes assessment studies.

The primary goal of the SPARC project is the commissioning of the SASE FEL operating at 500 nm driven by a 150-200 MeV high brightness photoinjector. Additional experiments are foreseen also in the HHG Seeded configuration at 266, 160 and 114 nm. A second beam line hosting a THz source has been recently commissioned. The recent successful operation of the SPARC injector in the Velocity Bunching (VB) mode has opened new perspectives to conduct advanced beam dynamics experiments with ultra-short electron pulses able to extend the THz spectrum and to drive the FEL in the SASE Single Spike mode. Moreover a new technique called Laser Comb, able to generate a train of short pulses with high repetition rate, as the one required to drive coherent plasma wake field excitation, has been tested in the VB configuration. The energy/density modulation produced by an infrared laser pulse interacting with the electron beam near the cathode has been also investigated. In this paper we report the experimental results obtained so far and the comparison with simulations.
