	The electron linac component of the TRIUMF-ARIEL facility will provide CW beams of 50-75 MeV and up to 0.5 MW of beam power, with consequent requirements for low-loss operation. One factor in controlling beam quality is the reduction of the low-momentum tail arising from the rf-modulated 300 KV electron gun and initial capture elements prior to acceleration in the 10 MeV Injector linac. To study momentum collimation in the 10 MeV transfer line to the main linac, and its implications for downstream beam characteristics, a simulation model has been constructed using several tracking and optics codes, linked together by scripts and data converters. The model follows the evolution of the beam from the e-gun through the injector cryo-module and the medium energy transfer line where the proposed collimator is located. The components, methods and results of this application are described in detail.
