Over the last years, the interest of the international scientific community for high power accelerators in the megawatt range has been increasing. One of the major challenges is to extract and transport the beam while minimizing the emittance growth in the Low Energy Beam Transport line (LEBT). Consequently, it is crucial to perform precise simulations and cautious design of LEBT. In particular, the beam dynamics calculations have to take into account not only the space charge effects but also the space charge compensation of the beam induced by ionization of the residual gas. The code SOLMAXP has been developed in CEA-Saclay to perform self-consistent calculations taking into account space charge compensation. Extensive beam dynamics simulations have been done with this code to design the IFMIF LEBT (Deuteron beam of 125 mA at 100 keV, cw). The commissioning of the IFMIF injector started a few months ago and emmittance measurements of H⁺ and D⁺ beams have been done. The first experimental results will be presented and compared to simulation.
