The design of such an accelerator can nowadays be based on using of a powerful high-voltage high-frequency gyrotron which can provide now in pulsed regime a peak power up to 15 MW at the frequency about of 30 GHz. Taking into account this possibility, the paper presents the results of design and numerical simulations for the electron beam dynamics in a linac with the operating frequency of 27 GHz. Designed linac consists of two parts: gentle buncher and main accelerating section. The beam bunching is complicated at 1 cm wavelength because high energy about 2 MeV is necessary for beam injection into the main stage with v/c=1. Beam dynamics simulations are held using BEAMDULAC-BL code*. The electrodynamics of accelerating structure based on biperiodic structure is presented. The electron gun simulation is also discussed. The RF feeding is planned to be realized using a gyrotron to be designed in IAP RAS. The gyrotron is capable to produce 2 MW peak RF power in pulses with pulse duration 400 μs and repetition rate 10 Hz.
