In order to improve the capture efficiency of the positron produced at the target in present KEKB Injector linac, a new project has just started to utilize L-band (1298MHz) RF. The present S-band (2856MHz) capture cavities and successive three RF units are to be replaced by those of L-band. The specifications of the L-Band system should fulfill the demands of a positron damping ring downstream which is also to be under study for super KEKB project. Besides the whole design work of the system, our present ongoing work is rather concentrated on establishing L-Band RF source and accelerating structures.

The next generation B-factory 'SuperKEKB' project whose target luminosity is 8 ×10³⁵ cm^-2s^-1 is under consideration. A 'nano-beam scheme' is introduced to the SuperKEKB. In the scheme, an electron beam (Energy = 7 GeV, Charge = 3-4 nC/bunch, Vertical emittance =2.8 x 10^-5 m) and a positron beam (Energy = 4 GeV, Charge = 4 nC/bunch, Vertical emittance = 1.6 x 10^-5 m), are required at the end of injector linac. They are quite challenging targets for the present linac. In order to meet the requirements, we will introduce some new components to the linac. They are a photo-cathode RF gun for an electron beam, a positron capture section using new L-band cavities, a newly designed positron-generation target system and a damping ring for a positron beam. This presentation shows a strategy of our injector upgrade.
