DOIAbstract
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...
