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<sup>+</sup> beam at 100 ‬keV are presented.}, title = {Deuteron beam commissioning of the linear IFMIF prototype accelerator ion source and low energy beam transport}, volume = {59}, year = {2019} }
