DOIAbstract
There is a high demand for intense THz sources since “many excitation mechanisms of matter resonate in the terahertz regime” especially for condensed matters. “Accelerator-based THz sources provide the wide tunability together with high intensity and repetition rates beyond 100 kHz, that will enable broad application at the European XFEL to the most interesting scientific problems in the field” [1]. Supported by European XFEL a proof of principle study is started at the Photo-Injector Test Facility located at DESY in Zeuthen site (PITZ). Since PITZ and European XFEL electron sources are identical the X-ray and THz radiation can be produced with identical bunch train structure so that for every X-ray pulse a corresponding THz pulse can be pr...
