  For high luminosity electron-positron colliders, intense positron beam production is one of the key issues as well as electron. Flux Concentrator (FC) is a pulsed solenoid that can generate high magnetic field of several Tesla and is often used for focusing positrons emerged from a production target. It works as an optical matching device in a positron capture section. With this device, high capture efficiency is achieved. In this paper, we will discuss a design optimization of a FC for the SuperKEKB positron source. Geometrical parameters of the FC are optimized to achieve high peak field using the CST EM Studio. Magnetic field distribution evaluated with the EM Studio is implemented into a particle tracking code to see a performance of the positron capture section. The tracking simulation includes a positron production at the target, focusing by the FC and subsequent solenoids and acceleration by RF structures till the end of the capture section. We report the results of a FC design optimized for higher positron yield with the tracking simulation.

  The design strategy of SuperKEKB is based on the nano-beam scheme. The dynamic aperture decreases due to the very small beta function at the interaction point. Thus the injector upgrade is required to obtain the low emittance and high charge beam corresponding to the short beam life and small injection acceptance. The required beam parameters are 5 nC, 20 mm mrad and 4 nC, 6 mm mrad for the electron and positron respectively. For the electron beam, new photocathode RF-Gun with the focusing electric field was installed. Further the emittance growth in the linac is an important issue for the low emittance injection. We will report the machine study of the RF-Gun and the emittance growth through the linac.

  We are developing a new RF gun for SuperKEKB. We are upgrading KEKB to SuperKEKB now. High charge low emittance electron and positron beams are required for SuperKEKB. We will generate 7.0 GeV electron beam at 5 nC 20 mm-mrad by J-linac. In this linac, a photo cathode S-band RF gun will be used as the electron beam source. For this reason, we are developing an advanced RF gun. Now, we are testing a Disk and Washer (DAW) type RF gun. Its photo cathode material is LaB6. Normally, LaB6 is used as a thermionic cathode, but it is suitable for long-life photo cathode operation. This gun has a strong focusing field at the cathode and the acceleration field distribution also has a focusing effect. We will obtain 3.2 MeV beam energy with the gun. The design of RF gun and experimental results will be shown.

  For obtaining higher luminosity in the SuperKEKB, the photocathode DAW-type RF gun for high-current, low-emittance beams will be employed in the injector linac. The electron beams with a charge of 5 nC and a normalized emittance of 10 micrometer are expected generate in the photocathode RF gun by using the laser source with a center wavelength of 260 nm and a pulse width of 30 ps. Fiber laser especially Ytterbium(Yb) fiber have attracted attention as one of the promising practical alternatives to usual solid-state lasers, offering high energy-extraction efficiency, high repetition rate, high output power, low-cost and so on. Introducing the Ytterbium fiber laser system, we have developed a stable laser amplifier system, which could allow steady beam injection into the SuperKEKB rings. The laser system starts with a large mode-area Yb-doped fiber-based amplifier system, which consists of a passively mode-locked femtosecond Yb-fiber oscillator. To obtain the mJ-class pulse energy, a multi-pass solid-state amplifier is employed. Deep UV pulses for the photocathode are generated by using two frequency-doubling stages. High pulse energy and good stability would be expected.

  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.
