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.
