	Nowadays there is a big interest to THz radiation that is a promising tool for investigations in material science, in biology, medicine and other fields. THz radiation for users is mostly produced by Light Sources that are big and complex machines. Because of this there are numerous activities in research and development of a compact THz source. One of the trends is based on using different types of radiation generated in coherent regime by short electron bunches. The promising radiation mechanism is coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (CSPR) that has monochromatic angular distribution and that is generated while the bunch travels in a vicinity of a grating. In this report we present simulated characteristics of frequency-locked coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (super-radiant regime) generated by a train of short (hundreds of femtosecond) 10 MeV electron bunches with THz spacing. The simulations are performed for different grating profiles and parameters using existing CSPR models and Particle-in-Cell simulation code. We also discuss the feasibility of the THz source based on CSPR and status of the experiment that is prepared at LUCX facility at KEK after the upgrade.

Nowadays there is a big interest to THz radiation that is a promising tool for investigations in material science, in biology, medicine and other fields. THz radiation for users is mostly produced by Light Sources that are big and complex machines. Because of this there are numerous activities in research and development of a compact THz source. One of the trends is based on using different types of radiation generated in coherent regime by short electron bunches. The promising radiation mechanism is coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (CSPR) that has monochromatic angular distribution and that is generated while the bunch travels in a vicinity of a grating. In this report we present simulated characteristics of frequency-locked coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (super-radiant regime) generated by a train of short (hundreds of femtosecond) 10 MeV electron bunches with THz spacing. The simulations are performed for different grating profiles and parameters using existing CSPR models and Particle-in-Cell simulation code. We also discuss the feasibility of the THz source based on CSPR and status of the experiment that is prepared at LUCX facility at KEK after the upgrade.
