synchrotron radiation in the terahertz region introduction The terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is of great interest to spectroscopists, however there are very few good sources of radiation for this region. In an effort to fill this need, a number of studies into both the practical application of and the basic physics behind Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) have been undertaken at the Canadian Light Source. The examination of the high resolution spectrum of superradiant synchrotron radiation in the terahertz region described in this report is one of those studies. Before we can describe the condition
