  The I-3 injector is used now for acceleration of A/Z=2-5 ions with maximal beam current of 5 mA up to energy of 4Z MeV. Possibility of increase for accelerated beam current is studied by beam dynamics simulation in the LEBT line and accelerating structure taking into account the realistic configuration of focusing and accelerating fields. Results of both beam dynamics and electrodynamics computer simulations for the I-3 accelerating structure that is 2.5 MHz two gap resonator are presented.
