The planned Next Generation Light Source at LBNL is designed to deliver MHz repetition rate electron beams to an array of free electron lasers. Because of the high beam power approaching one MW in such a facility, effective beam collimation is extremely important to minimize radiation damage, prevent quenches of superconducting cavities, limit dose rates outside of the accelerator tunnel and prevent equipment damage. We describe the conceptual design of a collimation system, including detailed simulations to verify its effectiveness.
