SPARC in Frascati is a high brightness photo-injector used to drive Free Electron Laser experiments and explore advanced beam manipulation techniques. The R&D effort made for the optimization of the beam parameters will be presented here, together with the major experimental results achieved. In particular, we will focus on the generation of sub-picosecond, high brightness electron bunch trains via velocity bunching technique (the so called comb beam). Such bunch trains can be used to drive tunable and narrow band THz sources, FELs and plasma wake field accelerators.

The development of radiation sources in the THz spectral region has become more and more interesting because of the peculiar characteristics of this radiation: it is non ionizing, it penetrates dielectrics, it is highly absorbed by polar liquids, highly reflected by metals and reveals specific "fingerprint" absorption spectra arising from fundamentals physical processes. The THz source at SPARC is an accelerator based source for research investigations (e.g. material science, biology fields). Its measured peak power is of the order of 10⁸ W, very competitive with respect to other present sources. The present status of the source is presented and future perspectives are presented.

The development of radiation sources in the THz spectral region has become more and more interesting because of the peculiar characteristics of this radiation: it is non ionizing, it penetrates dielectrics, it is highly absorbed by polar liquids, highly reflected by metals and reveals specific "fingerprint" absorption spectra arising from fundamentals physical processes. The THz source at SPARC is an accelerator based source for research investigations (e.g. material science, biology fields). By means of e-beam manipulation technique, a longitudinal modulated beam, the so-called comb beam, can be produced at Sparc. In terms of THz sources, such e-beam distribution allows to produce high intensitiy narrow band THz radiation, whose spectrum strongly depends on the charge distribution inside the e-beam. Different linac schemes are compared. In particular, spectra obtained using the comb-beam compression through velocity bunching including a IV harmonic RF section is showed.
