  This paper describes the design and preliminary simulations of the electron beam collimation system in the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) linac. Dark current is expected from the gun and some of the accelerating cavities. Particle tracking of the expected dark current through the entire LCLS linac, from L0-linac exit to FEL undulator entrance, is used to estimate final particle extent in the undulator as well as expected beam loss at each collimator or aperture restriction. A table of collimators and aperture restrictions is listed along with halo particle loss results, which includes an estimate of average continuous beam power lost on each individual collimator. In addition, the transverse wakefield alignment tolerances are calculated for each collimator.

  To maintain stable performance of the Linac Coherent Light Source X-ray Free-electron laser, one has to control undulator trajectory stability to a small fraction of the rms beam size. BPM based feedback loops running at 120 Hz will be effective in controlling jitter at low frequencies less than a few Hz. On the other hand, linac and injector stability tolerances must control jitter at higher frequencies. In this paper, we study the possible sources of such high frequency jitter, including: 1) steering coil current regulation; 2) quadrupole (and solenoid) transverse vibrations; 3) quadrupole (and solenoid) current regulation in presence of typical 200-micron misalignments; 4) charge jitter coupling to RF cavity transverse wakefield due to alignment errors; and 5) bunch length jitter coupling to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation in Chicane. Based on this study, we then set tolerances on each item.
