A C-band photocathode RF gun for a compact electron diffraction facility is developed in Tsinghua University, which is designed to work at the frequency of 5.712GHz. This paper presents the physics and structure design of this C-band RF gun, and the comparison on beam dynamics of S-band and C-band photoinjector has been done. Some new structure design will be adopted in this gun, including the optimized cavity length and elliptical iris, which is helpful to achieve lower emittance and larger mode separation.

	A soft X-ray (~9 nm) FEL (SXFEL) facility is going to be constructed in Shanghai, China, which requires high charge (>500 pC) electron beam with low transverse emittance (<1.5 mm-mrad) at photoinjector exit. One of the keys to achieve a low emittance with high charge is high gradient on the photocathode, so an S-band photocathode RF gun modified from BNL type gun is designed, which aims running 100 MV/m peak gradient at 10 Hz. By changing the cathode seal technique, removing the insertion RF tuner, and reducing the peak surface field, RF breakdown possibility is reduced. Besides, RF pulse width is also considered to be reduced to lower the RF breakdown possibility. Since zero mode and multipole field degrades the beam emittance, they are also suppressed in the new gun design. Design details and cold testing results are presented in this paper.
