Popis: Recent studies of rf breakdown physics in cryogenic copper X-band accelerating structures have shown a dramatic increase in the operating gradient while maintaining low breakdown rates. The TOPGUN project, a collaboration between UCLA, SLAC, and INFN, will use this improvement in gradient to create an ultra-high brightness cryogenic normal conducting photoinjector [16] . The brightness is expected to be higher by a factor of 25 relative to the LCLS photogun [9] . This improvement in the brightness will lead to increased performance of X-Ray free electron lasers (FELs) and ultrafast electron diffraction devices [16] . We present the rf design for this S-band photogun, which will be a drop-in replacement for the current LCLS photogun.
