The Linear IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is aiming at demonstrating the low-energy section of a 40 MeV/125 mA IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a full beam current in continuous-wave (CW) operation. For such a high-power beam, the LIPAc injector is required to produce a beam current of 140 mA and 100 keV D+ beams. The injector commissioning to reach high beam current has been progressing at high duty cycle operation, then stable operation for many hours at a beam condition of 150 mA total extracted current. This result demonstrates that the LIPAc injector can meet the required performance for nominal 125 mA long pulse deuteron beam acceleration.

“…The main challenges are related to the high accelerator current and power that requires the development of specific Beam Diagnostics solutions [22][23][24]. In addition, other challenges are related to the limited space, high reliability, maintenance by Remote Handling (RH) means, and high radiation in the last 20 m of the accelerator (close to the Target).…”

“…Consequently, either during the commissioning or operation phases, several beam diagnostics have been foreseen and have been installed along the LEBT in order to measure different physical values relative to the beam. The main beam diagnostics are briefly presented here but a detailed description can be found in [11].…”

During the EVEDA (Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities) phase of the IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) project, a 125 mA/9 MeV prototype accelerator (LIPAc) has to be built, tested an operated in Rokkasho-Mura (Japan). Involved in this project for several years, CEA/Saclay designed the injector of this accelerator which is composed by an ECR ion source, delivering a 140 mA deuteron beam at 100 keV, and a low energy beam transport (LEBT) line to match the beam for the injection into the RFQ. In this paper, the components of the LIPAc injector are described. The commissioning of the ion source and LEBT with beam started in November 2014. The different phases of the commissioning are explained and some noticeable experimental results obtained with a D + beam at 100 keV are presented.
