  Recent development of MW peak power THz sources from efficient optical rectification of broadband IR pulses by pulse front tilting has made available laser locked single cycle THz pulses suitable for compression and laser-synchronization of photoinjector generated subpicosecond electron beams. Three dimensional simulations have shown that a waveguided 8 pulse THz train can be used to interact with a sub picoseconds electron beam in an undulator to achieve compression and laser synchronization. We present a THz pulse train source currently under development at UCLA PBPL as well as detailed 3 dimensional simulations including the effect of the interaction on transverse beam quality.
