  The progress in the CERN Linac 4 project confirms the very attractive possibility for single frequency high intensity high energy normal conducting hadron linac. The important part of such linac is the accelerating structure for high energy part. Parameters of possible accelerating structures, referring to PIMS, at operating frequency 352 MHz are considered for proton energy up to 600 MeV. The set of parameters, such as dimensions, RF efficiency, field stability, cooling capability, vacuum conductivity, are considered and compared.

  The Disk Loaded Waveguide (DLW) is the mostly used high frequency structure for acceleration of lightweight particles – electrons in the high energy range. DLW parameters are considered for the lower frequency range and lower particle velocity. Physical and technical restrictions for DLW application for the low particles velocity are analyzed. Basing on particularities of acceleration with traveling wave, deep optimization of DLW cells dimensions, the choice of optimal operating phase advance for each DLW section and combination of forward and backward wave modes, it looks possible to create the simple, cost effective acceleration system for intermediate particles acceleration in the moderate velocity range, in some parameters overcoming accelerating system with RF cavities in the standing wave mode.

  The CLARA injector is required to deliver ultrashort singe electron pulses with a charge of 250 pC following with a repetition rate of 100 and/or 400 Hz. It should also provide 2 us trains of twenty 25 pC pulses with a repetition rate 100 Hz. To meet this challenge, a 1.5 cell S-band photocathode gun with a field of up to 120 MV/m and coaxial coupling has been chosen. The length of the first cell of 0.5 is decided on the basis of beam dynamic simulation with the goal to obtain optimal for CLARA parameters. In order to improve amplitude and phase stability of the RF field, the gun is equipped with RF probes, which will provide feedback to the RF system. The gun and coupler were designed to accept up to 10 MW peak and 10 kW average RF powers. Cooling will be achieved by water channels cut into the bulk of the copper. The coupler will transition from waveguide to coax using an innovative H-shaped dual feed system that cancels out any dipole mode components and allows tuning of the match. The RF and mechanical design of the CLARA high brightness photocathode gun along with beam dynamics simulations are presented in this paper.
