The Linear IFMIF Prototype Accelerator (LIPAc) has been constructed in Rokkasho, Japan to demonstrate the validity of the low energy section of an IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV with a beam current of 125 mA in continuous wave (CW) under the joint collaboration between EU and Japan. The short-pulse 125-mA deuteron beam acceleration to 5 MeV was successfully demonstrated in 2019. Now LIPAc is under commissioning toward the CW beam acceleration. The effort to realize the high-current CW beam, e.g. the commissioning of the ion source at high-current, CW and the conditioning of the RFQ cavity at CW, and the result of the beam commissioning campaign will be presented.
