Description
The cathodes and RF interaction at extremes (CARIE) is a project in Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that aims for generating a high-brightness electron beam from a high-gradient photocathode. The commissioning of the CARIE facility started in 2022. A 50 MW C-band klystron was conditioned in 2023. A waveguide line including a high-power circulator was constructed and conditioned up to 12 MW in 2024. The facility has new control and logging systems currently being in implementation. An RF injector without a cathode plug was successfully tuned and is ready for installation. This talk will present the progress on commissioning and outlook of the project.
