	The CLIC post collision line is designed to transport the un-collided beams and the products of the collided beams with a total power of 14 MW to the main beam dump. Full Monte Carlo simulation has been done for the description of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) luminosity monitoring at the post collision line. One method of the luminosity diagnostic is based on the detection of high energy muons produced by the beamsstrahlung photons in the main beam dump. The disrupted beam and the beamsstrahlung photons produce at the order of 10⁶ muons per bunch crossing, with energies greater than 10 GeV. Currently threshold Cherenkov counters are considered after the beam dump for the detection of these high energy muons. A second method using the direct detection of the beamsstrahlung photons is also considered.

	The CLIC post-collision line is designed to transport the spent-beam products of collision to their respective dumps, with minimal losses and thus minimal background contributions. With nanometre spot-sizes at TeV energies, large beam-beam effects induce divergence and dispersion of the outgoing beams, with a large production cross-section of Beamstrahlung photons and subsequently coherent pairs. The post-collision line should provide sufficient divergence of the beam to avoid damage to the vacuum exit and dump entrance windows. In this study, the beam losses are investigated, with the production of secondary particles from the interaction with matter simulated. The particle flux leakage from absorbers and dumps is modelled to determine the total energy deposited on magnets of the post-collision line. Finally, both electromagnetic and hadronic backgrounds at the CLIC experiment are considered.

The CLIC post-collision line is designed to transport the spent-beam products of collision to their respective dumps, with minimal losses and thus minimal background contributions. With nanometre spot-sizes at TeV energies, large beam-beam effects induce divergence and dispersion of the outgoing beams, with a large production cross-section of Beamstrahlung photons and subsequently coherent pairs. The post-collision line should provide sufficient divergence of the beam to avoid damage to the vacuum exit and dump entrance windows. In this study, the beam losses are investigated, with the production of secondary particles from the interaction with matter simulated. The particle flux leakage from absorbers and dumps is modelled to determine the total energy deposited on magnets of the post-collision line. Finally, both electromagnetic and hadronic backgrounds at the CLIC experiment are considered.
