  The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), develops high brightness electron sources for modern linac-based Free Electron Lasers (FELs). The PITZ accelerator can also be considered as a suitable machine for the development of an IR/THz source prototype for pump-probe experiments at the European XFEL. One of the interesting options for the IR/THz generation with PITZ is to generate the radiation by means of a SASE FEL using an uncompressed electron beam with bunch length of a few 10 ps and a peak current of ~200 A. In this paper, results of experimental optimizations and characterizations, including transverse phase space, slice transverse emittance and longitudinal phase space, of electron beams with bunch charges of 4 nC are presented and discussed. The measurements were done with beam momenta of 15 MeV/c and 22 MeV/c. Results of IR/THz SASE FEL calculations by using the GENESIS1.3 code based on the measured beam parameters are also presented and discussed.

  We report on the experimental demonstration of ballistic bunching of photoinjected, nC-scale electron bunches at the PITZ facility. In the experiment, electron bunches emanating from the photocathode were directly focused into a mm-scale dielectric-lined waveguide. The wakefield excited by the bunch acts back onto itself, leading to an energy modulation, which at a relatively low energy of 6~MeV, is converted into a density modulation before entering the linac  ∼ 1~m downstream. We discuss the basic theory, experimental layout and results.
