Science demand for MHz-class repetition rate electron beam applications such as free electron lasers (FELs), inverse Compton scattering sources, and ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy (UED/UEM), pushed the development of new gun schemes that could generate high brightness beams at such high rates. At the Lawrence Berkeley Lab (LBNL), we proposed a new concept room-temperature RF gun resonating in the VHF frequency range (30-300 MHz) capable of operating in continuous wave mode at the fields required for high-brightness performance. A first VHF-Gun was constructed and tested in the APEX facility at LBNL, which successfully demonstrated all design parameters and the generation of high brightness electron beams. A second version of the APEX VHF-Gun is being built at LBNL for the LCLS-II, the new SLAC X-ray FEL. Recent studies showed that a proposed LCLS-II upgrade and UED/UEM applications would greatly benefit from an increased gun brightness obtained by raising the electric field at the cathode and the beam energy at the gun exit. In this paper, we present and discuss possible upgrade options that would allow extension of the VHF-Gun performance towards these new goals.

LCLS-II is a proposed high-repetition rate (up to 1 MHz) Free Electron Laser X-ray light source, based on a CW normal conducting (NC) RF gun injector and a CW 4-GeV superconducting (SC) linac, under construction at SLAC. LCLS-II CW injector consists of a 186 MHz NC RF gun, two solenoids, two BPMs, 1.3 GHz NC RF buncher, and 1.3 GHz SC standard 8-cavity cryomodule to boost the beam energy >95 MeV, and 5 pairs of steering correctors. In this paper, we describe the injector physics design including the beam optimization and low level RF requirement, and also present the studies of beam performance with any one SC cavity failure. The beam tuning procedure is developed with the correctors and two BPMs. The simulations of the phase/amplitude calibration for the gun and buncher and beam based alignment for cathode, two solenoids, and RF buncher with the limited diagnostics, will be presented.
