A 15 MeV accelerator scheme based on a DC photo-injector and a RF superconducting linac has been proposed as a new facility for radiography applications. The design of a 15 MeV, 2 kA peak current, electron accelerator for the DEINOS project is presented The beam operating condition is a limited number of bunches up to twenty electron micro-pulses of 100 ps time duration and 200 nC bunch charge emitted at 352 MHz repetition rate from a Cs2Te photocathode and accelerated to 2.5 MeV in the DC diode before injection into a superconducting linac. A general description of the main accelerator components and the beam dynamics simulations are presented. The overall beam dynamics simulation process based on LANL POISSON-SUPERFISH and PARMELA codes and the results will be reviewed.
