  ILC (International Linear Collider) is a next high-energy physics project to study the Higgs property as detail as possible and new phenomena beyond standard model. In ILC, the positron beam is produced by converting gamma rays from undulator radiations. To obtain gamma rays as undulator radiation, the electron beam for collision (150 GeV or more) is used. This positron generation scheme is a totally new approach. From project point of view, it is desirable to have a technical backup as a replacement of the undulator scheme. We propose an ILC positron source based on the conventional electron driven scheme. In this scheme, positron beam is generated from electromagnetic shower in a heavy target material where electron beam is injected. By manipulating the beam time structure to relax the heat load on the production target, the scheme can be feasible technically. In this study, positron capture in the electron driven scheme is simulated from the positron production to the positron damping ring, to demonstrate that an enough amount of positron can be generated and captured with a controllable heat load on the target.

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.
