In the framework of the IFMIF-EVEDA phase (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility—Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities), the CEA-Saclay is in charged of the design and realization of the 140mA cw deuteron source. The IFMIF EVEDA demonstrator will be installed in Japan in the next six years and will have to accelerate the deuteron beam up to 9MeV. CEA will build the source and the low energy beam line (LEBT) and will test the cw high intensity deuteron production at Saclay. The SILHI source is an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source, operating at 2.45GHz. In 2001, it produced more than 130mA of deuteron beam in pulsed mode to minimize neutron production. Such a result pushes to develop a new ECR source based on the SILHI design and equipped with a specific extraction system. Several options of the accelerator column will be implemented in order to improve the reliability and the efficiency of the source. The IFMIF source and LEBT design will be reported.
