The cryogenic C-band photocathode RF gun operating at 20K is under development at LEBRA in Nihon University. The RF gun is of the BNL-type 2.6-cell pillbox cavity with the resonant frequency of 5712 MHz. The 6N8 high purity OFC copper is used as the cavity material. From the theoretical evaluation of the anomalous skin effect, the quality factor Q of the cavity has been expected to be about 60000. Considering a low cooling capacity of the cryocooler system, initial operation of the RF gun is assumed at a duty factor of 0.01 %. The cavity basic design and the beam bunching simulation were carried out using SUPERFISH and General Particle Tracer (GPT). Machining of the cavity was carried out in KEK. The RF characteristics measured at room temperature and 20K will be reported.
