At Waseda University, various researches are done using a photocathode rf electron gun with a 1.6 cell cavity. Now we are developing a new rf cavity specialized for producing an ultra-short electron bunch, with the collaboration of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). We have used SUPERFISH for designing the new rf cavity and PARMELA for beam tracking. The new rf cavity has an extra cell following the 1.6 cell. The extra cell can chirp the energy of electron bunch so we call it ECC (Energy Chirping Cell). ECC chirp the energy because we shortened the length of iris just before the ECC and also the length of ECC itself. Moreover, electric field in ECC is made to be stronger than others. We have confirmed on PARMELA that ECC rf gun can generate an 100pC electron bunch less than 200fsec with the energy of 4.5MeV at about 2.5m away from the cathode. Such an ultra-short electron bunch enables us to generate a coherent terahertz light using ultra-short electron bunch by synchrotron radiation or transition radiation. In this conference, we would like to introduce the detail of the design of this new ECC rf gun, the present progresses and future prospects.

The SuperKEKB is designed to produce 40 times luminosity than that of the KEKB. In order to realize such a high luminosity, the injector linac should provide both electron and positron beams of about 4-5 nC/bunch, which is several times higher than before. In addition, their emittance requirement of the injection beam to the rings is 20 microns, which is a factor of a few tens smaller than before. The intensity and emittance of the electron beam are realized directly by developing the photo RF gun. In contrast, the positron intensity is increased by adopting a higher capture efficiency system with flux concentrator followed by large-aperture accelerators, while its emittance is reduced by a damping ring. For preserving such a low emittance of both beams toward the injection to the rings, the suppression of the emittance growth is crucial. To this end, the alignment of the accelerator components should be a few tens of microns, where we need an improvement by more than a factor 10. The beam-based alignment is definitely needed with better-resolution BPMs. In the present paper are reviewed the overall progress and perspective of the design and the associated component developments.
