	After a decade of successful operation at KEKB a new electron/positron collider, SuperKEKB, is being constructed to commission within FY2014. It aims at a luminosity of 8 x 10³⁵ /s.cm², 40-times higher than that of KEKB, in order to study the flavor physics of elementary particles further, by mainly squeezing the beams at the collision point. The injector linac should provide high-intensity and low-emittance beams of 7-GeV electron and 4-GeV positron by newly installing a RF-gun, a flux concentrator, and a damping ring with careful emittance and energy management. It also have to perform simultaneous top-up injections into four storage rings by pulse-to-pulse beam modulations not to interfare between three facilities of SuperKEKB, Photon Factory and PF-AR. This paper describes the injector design decisions and present status of the construction.

	A new laser-based alignment system is under development in order to precisely align accelerator components with a precision level of ±0.1 mm along an ideal straight line at the KEKB injector linac. The high-precision alignment system is strongly required for the Super B-factory at KEK. The laser-based alignment system comprises a He-Ne laser source and optical components for delivering the laser beam, and silicon photodetectors. The laser-based alignment system aligns a misalignment of a girder unit for accelerating structures while accelerator components on the girder unit are aligned with another laser tracker system with a similar precision level. A new PC-based feedback system for the laser pointing stability has been introduced in order to stabilize the transverse laser positions at the photodetector. The experimental results show that although the laser pointing stability is easily disturbed by environmental factors without the feedback system, it has been successfully applied to control the laser pointing stability within a few ten-micron-meter. In this report, the experimental investigations in the new feedback system are reported.

	The KEK injector linac provides electrons and positrons to several accelerator facilities. A 50 Hz beam-mode switching system has been constructed to realize simultaneous top-up injections for Photon Factory and the KEKB high- and low-energy rings, which require different beam characteristics. An event-based timing and control system was built to change the parameters of various accelerator components within 20 ms. The components are spread over a 600-m-long linac and require changes to a total of 100 timing and control parameters. The system has been operated successfully since the autumn of 2008 and has been improved upon as beam operation experience has been accumulated. The timing watchdog and alert system are indispensable for the stable and high quality beam operation. For this purpose, we developed and utilized several timing watchdog system. We will present the detail of timing signal watchdog system for the KEK injector linac.
