  The higher pulse repetition rate of the SACLA accelerator provides a higher rate of X-ray laser pulses to expand ability of user experiments, such as simultaneously providing the laser to several beamlines and reducing a measuring time in the experiment. Therefore, we studied on a C-band accelerating structure for a higher pulse rate above 120 pps than that of the present case of 60 pps. The designed structure adopts a TM01-2π/3 mode disk-loaded type with a quasi-constant gradient . Since higher repetition rate operation is inclined to increase a number of vacuum electrical discharges, it is required to reduce the surface electric field in the structure. We designed an ellipsoidal curvature shape around an iris aperture, which reduces the maximum surface field by 20%. Since the higher repetition rate also increases the heat load of the structure, in simulation, we optimized cooling channels to obtain acceptable frequency detuning. As the results of the design, an accelerating gradient of more than 40 MV/m will be expected, when an input RF power of 80 MW is applied to the structure. In this paper, we report the design of the C-band accelerating structure and its rf properties.
