  Abstract:
We present a program for the design and construction of a thermionic cathode RF gun to produce bright electron beams, consisting in the first step toward the possible develop-ment of S band linac based pre-injector at Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF). The program is aimed at the goal to attain a beam quality as requested by ILSF. As a first step within this mainstream, we are currently developing a thermionic cathode side coupling RF electron gun which is expected to deliver 100 pC bunches with emittances below 2 mm-mrad at 2.5 MeV. We report the performed simulation and design activity, as well as cold test results of first fabricated prototype, which are in good agreement with simulation results
