  Electron beam collimation in the SwissFEL is required for protection of the undulators against radiation damage and demagnetization. The design for the SwissFEL collimation for the hard X-ray undulator (Aramis) includes transverse collimation in the final accelerating linac sections, plus an energy collimator in a post-linac chicane. The collimation system must provide efficient protection of the undulator for various machine modes providing varied final beam energy to the undulator. The performance of the transverse and energy collimation design is studied in simulations including evaluation of the transverse collimation for various beam energies and the effect of grazing particles on the energy collimator. Collimator wakefields are also considered.

  The SwissFEL injector test facility at the Paul Scherrer Institute is the principal test bed and demonstration plant for the SwissFEL project, which aims at realizing a hard-X-ray Free Electron Laser by 2017. The RF photoinjector facility has been in operation since 2010 and has recently reached its design energy of 250 MeV. A newly installed movable magnetic chicane allows longitudinal bunch compression studies. We report on the first experience with the bunch compressor and present the latest results of projected and slice emittance measurements.
