The electron injector for a storage ring is one of numerous applications of the rf linacs of intensive short-pulsed beams with duration about 100 ns, current about 1 A and energy of particles in a few ten MeB. Since acceleration of intensive short-pulsed beams takes place in transient mode, then the energy spread is determined by both intro- and multi- bunch spread. Getting the energy spread less than 1% is the actual problem. In this work we simulate numerically unsteady self-consistent dynamics of charged particles in an rf linac that consist of a low-voltage (25 keV) thermionic gun, a compact evanescent wave buncher, a traveling wave accelerating structure. For transient beam loading compensation a method of delay of a beam relatively rf pulse are applied. The simulation takes into account influence on the beam dynamic of such factors as: initial energy and phase spread; sliding of particles in relation to a wave in the initial part of accelerating section; temporal dependence of phase and energy of bunches at the enter of section; space charge field.

Simulation results of subpicosecond bunch formation due to phase motion of electrons in traveling wave are presented. It has been shown that at satisfying phase conditions of electron injection that are necessary for velocity bunching, relative phase velocity of the total wave excited both by RF generator and particles becomes different from unit increasing bunch compression. Simulation of transportation of obtained 8.5 MeV bunches through undulator with a period of 90.6 mm and estimation of bunch form-factor at 446 harmonic of bunch repetition rate of 2797.15 MHz also was carried out. The data obtained allow to expect coherent radiation from undulator at wave-length of 240 um.
