  The international linear collider (ILC) is on a stage of preparing technical design report (TDR). Through value engineering to reduce civil construction costs, the tunnel configuration was changed from double- tunnel scheme to single. The double-tunnel schme accomodates superconducting accelerator modules and their power supplies indipendently. This is a very natural scheme for setting an accelerator and its power supply nearby and for preventing radiation damage of the power supply. However, the single-tunnel scheme was proposed to reduce cost, and to avoid such radiation problem three kinds of high-level (HLRF) RF systems are proposed. We report the comparison of ILC main linac costs and construction schedules between eight cases for combinations of diferent tunnel excavation methods and HLRF systems; then, we report the potential facility design for the Asian sites.

  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.  
 
WEPPD064 Quick Recovery of the KEK e−/e+ Injector Linac from the Great East Japan Earthquake 2669

  The KEK e−/e+ injector linac is under operation for the KEK Photon Factory (PF) storage ring and Photon Factory - Advanced Ring (PF-AR). And the linac has just started the upgrade for the SuperKEKB project. On March 11, the linac suffered great damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake. Due to an extraordinary strong vibration, many bellows of vacuum pipes were violently torn and the entire linac vacuum was exposed to the atmosphere. Without electricity, highly humid air entered the inside of accelerator structures. Some people supposed the linac would not be recovered within a year. However, it resumed operation after only two months. We report the memorable disaster and how we recovered the linac so quickly.
