SuperKEKB, the upgrade plan of KEKB, aims to boost the luminosity up to 8x1035 /cm2/s. The beam energy of the Low Energy Ring (LER) is 4 GeV for positrons, and that of the High Energy Ring is 7 GeV for electrons. SuperKEKB is designed to produce low emittance beams. The horizontal and vertical emittances of the injection beams are 12.5 nm and 0.9 nm, respectively, which are one or two orders smaller than those of KEKB. The normal and maximum required charges are 4 nC and 8nC, respectively. The positron injector system consists of the source, capture systems, L-band and S-band linacs, collimators, an energy compression system (ECS), a 1.1-GeV damping ring, a bunch compression system (BCS), S-band and C-band linacs, another ECS and a beam transport line into the LER. For the low emittance beam with a huge amount of the positron charge like 8nC, some kinds of issues by the instabilities will be predicted due to such as Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR), beam loading, beam-beam effects, and so on. This paper reports a design of the positron beam injection system for SuperKEKB. In addition, comparisons with SuperB are described.
