  abstract     = {{A 4 GeV 1.3 GHz superconducting linac is being constructed at SLAC as part of the X-ray free electron laser project (LCLS-II). The first 3-meter of the electron source that includes a normal conducting 185.7MHz CW RF gun, 2-cell 1.3 GHz CW RF buncher, and a loadlock system for cathode changes was designed and built by LBNL based on their experience with similar one for advanced photo-injector experiment program. The electron beam is designed to operate at a high repetition rate, up to 1 MHz. Since summer of 2018 we started LCLS-II injector source commissioning immediately after the major installation completion. This paper presents major commissioning results including achievements of ultra-high vacuum, RF processing to CW nominal power, dark current characterization and mitigation, and high-brightness electron beam measurements.}},
