  abstract     = {{This poster will report the results of high gradient testing of the benchmark C-band RF cavity. Modern applications such as X-ray sources require accelerators with optimized cost of construction and operation, naturally calling for high-gradient acceleration. At LANL we commissioned a test stand (CERF-NM) powered by a 50 MW, 5.712 GHz Canon klystron. The test stand is capable of conditioning accelerating cavities for operation at surface electric fields in excess of 300 MV/m. CERF-NM is the first high gradient C-band test facility in the United States. An important milestone for this test stand is to demonstrate conditioning and high gradient testing of the most basic high gradient RF cavity with a geometry that has been extensively studied at other frequencies, such as X-band. The cavity is the three-cell structure with the highest gradient in the central cell and two coupling cells, and the ratio of the radius of the coupling iris to the wavelength a/\lamda=0.105. This presentation will report achieved gradients, breakdown probabilities, and other characteristics measured during the high power operation of this cavity.}},
