Abstract
We are developing a linac upgrade to increase the positron energy from the current 3.5 GeV to 8 GeV for SuperKEKB. In order to use the current infrastructure effectively, a C-band system is being considered to be introduced. One unit of a high-power RF source and an accelerator system were successfully tested, and an accelerator was installed in the beam line of the KEKB linac to conduct a beam acceleration test. A brief description of this project and the current R&D status are presented in this paper.
