  For the recombination of the two trains coming from the CLIC damping rings, a delay loop will be used in order to obtain the nominal 0.5~ns bunch spacing. The optics design of the loop is based upon an isochronous ring, in order to preserve the longitudinal beam distribution. Analytical expressions for achieving isochronous conditions in high order for Theoretical Minimum Emittance cells are obtained. A parametrisation of the quadrupole settings for achieving these conditions is presented, along with general considerations regarding the choice of bending magnet characteristics.
