  Tuning the Final-Focus System of future linear colliders is one of the open challenges the linear collider community is undertaking. Future colliders like ILC and CLIC will feature complex lattice design to focus the beams to nanometer level at the Interaction Point. Standard Beam-Based Alignment (BBA) techniques have proven to hardly meet the requirements in terms of acceptable emittance growth, in both machines. A set of new techniques, respectively called: nonlinear Dispersion-Free Steering (DFS), DFS-knobs scan, and hybrid DFS-knobs with beamsize measurements, have been put in place to cope with the challenge. This paper will reveal the key ideas behind the new techniques, and compare their effectiveness w.r.t. the conventional BBA tuning procedures.

  In its currently-envisaged initial stage, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) will collide beams with a 380 GeV center of mass energy. To maintain the luminosity within a few percent of the design value, beam stability at the interaction point (IP) must be controlled at the sub-nanometer level. To help achieve such control, use of an intra-pulse IP feedback system is planned. With CLIC's very short bunch spacing of 0.5 ns, and nominal pulse duration of 176 ns, this feedback system presents a significant technical challenge. Furthermore, as part of a study to optimize the design of the beam delivery system (BDS), several L* configurations have been studied. In this paper, we will review the IP feedback simulations for the 380 GeV machine for two L* configurations, and compare luminosity recovery performance with that of the original L* configuration in the 3 TeV machine.

  Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program that uses a suite of high energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP & ROOT, that seamlessly tracks particles through accelerators and detectors utilising the full range of particles and physics processes from Geant4. BDSIM has been used to simulate linear colliders such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and more recently, circular colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The latest developments including improved geometry modelling; external geometry support; process biasing; and a new event display are presented. A significantly revised and improved accompanying tool chain is presented comprising of a series of Python utilities that allow efficient and automatic preparation of models. Furthermore, a library for both ROOT and Python that provides powerful analysis and event viewing after simulation is demonstrated.

  Beam tuning in the beam delivery system (BDS) is one of the major challenges for the future linear colliders. In those colliders, due to fast detuning of the final focus optics both beamlines will need to be tuned simultaneously. An initial two-beam tuning study for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) BDS had been performed, but was not fully satisfactory. In this paper a more extensive study is presented, as well as several improvements to the tuning algorithm. A comparative study between two competing CLIC final focus systems (FFS), the traditional and the compact FFS, will be discussed.
