	Over the past few years, CEA-Saclay has been actively engaged in R&D activities focused on high-intensity proton and deuteron beams. In particular, the high-intensity proton injector IPHI has been designed and developed with the primary objective of accelerating a continuous beam of 100 mA to 3 MeV. This machine consists of a high-intensity ECR ion source, a low-energy beam line, a 352 MHz RFQ, and a medium-energy transport line equipped with diagnostics. The commissioning of the IPHI facility started several years ago with a proton beam operating at a low duty cycle (0.1%) and a current of 65 mA. Since then, significant progress has been made, resulting in an accelerated beam power exceeding 30 kW. Following this achievement, a neutron production target with a polyethylene moderator was installed and successfully operated. In addition, extensive measurements have been conducted to thoroughly characterize the beam accelerated by IPHI and its transport through the beam lines. We have developed an end-to-end numerical model of the IPHI accelerator and validated it against experimental data. The simulation results are compared with the measured values and discussed in detail.

This contribution provides an overview of these aspects and the associated R&D activities.

	The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) is under commissioning in Rokkasho Fusion Institute in Japan and aims to accelerate 125 mA D⁺ at 9 MeV in CW mode for validating the IFMIF accelerator design. To insure a fine characterization and tuning of the machine many beam diagnostics are installed such as CTs, profile/position/loss/bunch length monitors spanning from Injector to the beam dump (BD). The beam operations in 1.0 ms pulsed D⁺ at 5 MeV was successfully completed with a low power BD (Phase B) in 2019. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the crucial transition to a new linac configuration was also finalized to enable operation in 1.0 ms to CW D⁺ at 5 MeV with the high-power BD (Phase B+). Thanks to the efforts of the entire team, the 1st beam operation of Phase B+ was carried out in 2021. We present the experiences and challenges encountered during the beam operations, particularly the findings from the interceptive devices to measure the beam profile and emittance using tungsten wires rackets, SEMGrid. We also discuss the quick results on other beam diagnostics from the beam operation of Phase B+ toward HDC, which are currently conducting in this Summer.
