A recently proposed 1 high brightness, high repetition rate, multibunch photoinjector project has reached the high power construction stage. The accelerator structure consists of a 1-1/2 cell, side wall coupled, X-Band (8.548 GHz) standing wave cavity, driven by a 20 MW SLAC Klystron, and a GHz repetition rate (burst mode) rf modelocked AlGaAs laser diode oscillator and Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) Ti:Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} multipass amplifier. The photocathode gun will be used to accelerate a train of one hundred, 0.1{endash}1 nC electron bunches to an energy in the range of 5 MeV. A joint collaboration between the UC Davis Department of Applied Science (DAS), and the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (SRRC) has been established to expedite the construction and characterization of the accelerator structure. A prototype copper cavity has been fabricated and characterized. The results of the low power rf measurements are presented, as well as a description of the high power cavity design. The solenoid focusing system design and construction is also described. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
