	Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory operates with 5 MeV photocathode gun and 70 MeV linac for different range of experiments with a few picoseconds and a few micrometers emittance electron bunch. Many conducted experiments require beam with good spatial resolution and short length as well. NdYaG laser pulse turns to the electron bunch in the gun with space charge affecting on the own bunch length and transverse profile. Optimal beam loading parameters of the space charge in the photocathode RF gun could be found and used to improve bunch length and emittance. Simple model and experimental results on the Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven national Laboratory will be described
