contents This article establishes the existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions to the weighted nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation governed by the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg operator, $$ -\text{div}(|x|^{-2a}\nabla u)=λ\frac{u}{|x|^{2a}}+β\frac{|u|^{q-2}u}{|x|^{bq}} +\frac{|u|^{2^{\sharp}-2}u}{|x|^{b{2^{\sharp}}}}\quad \text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N,$$ $$\int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{|u|^2}{|x|^{2a}}dx=ρ^2,$$ where $λ\in \mathbb{R}$, $β,~ρ>0$, $0< a<\frac{N-2}{2}$, $a<b<a+1$, $2^{\sharp}:=\frac{2N}{N-2(1+a-b)}$ and $2<q<{2^{\sharp}}$. Through constrained variational techniques, refined estimates on the best constants in the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities, and a bespoke concentration-compactness lemma, the study secures mass-subcritical ground states alongside multiple constrained critical points, together with high-energy ground state solutions in the mass-critical and supercritical regimes -- notwithstanding the noncompactness arising from the critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg nonlinearity over the unbounded domain.
