Super-radiant Linac-based THz Sources in 2013

These proceedings shall give an overview over the rapidly growing number of super-radiant linac-based THz sources which have been developed and designed over the past 13 years following the seminal pilot experiment at the Jefferson lab energy recovery linac in 2001 [1]. More than 20 super-radiant THz facilities already exist or are planned worldwide and are listed together with a set of fundamental parameters in the appendix of this paper.
