  A new S-Band photoinjector is being developed at UCLA that will feature a large accelerating gradient at 160 MeV/m creating a beam with approximately 6.5 MeV at the exit. Because of the large accelerating gradient and other considerations, such as cooling and manufacturing, the new Supergun will be coupled into using a coaxial method, rather than side coupling. With the large accelerating gradient we hope to create very low emittance beams on the order of 0.025 mm mrad. These beams can then be used for a number of purposes, mainly for high quality beams used in FELs. Electric simulations have been done using HFSS and Superfish. Heating and mechanical simulations were done using Ansys. Finally, beam simulations were completed with GPT.
