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.
