  Beam Based Alignment techniques are expected to play a critical role to the emittance preservation for the ILC. The Dispersion Free Steering (DFS) method is studied in detail in the 2nd statge of the bunch Compressor and in the beginning of the curved Main Linac. It is shown than in absence of cavity tilts (rotations on the YZ plane), DMS provides a unique and stable solution with negligible emittance growth. If cavity tilts are about 200 to 300 micro-radiant, the DMS solution is no longer unique and significant emittance occurs as well. While within the ILC budget, other dynamical effects, such a large beam jitter or sudden ground motion will cause severe performance degradation. A Variant of the DFS algorithm can be used to re-aling cavity supports, leading to better LET performance. In presence of perturbations (klystron jitter, ground motion,.. ) such DFS solutions are easier to maintain and improved if they are stable and unique. Therefore, it is suggested to consider using movers on quadrupole/BPM and, a bit more controversial, for the support system of the r.f. cavities, especially at low energy, where spurious dispersion due to cavity tilts are large.

In an effort to compare beam dynamics and create a ‘‘benchmark'' for Dispersion Free Steering (DFS) a comparison was made between different International Linear Collider (ILC) simulation programs while performing DFS. This study consisted of three parts. First, a simple betatron oscillation was tracked through each code. Secondly, a set of component misalignments and corrector settings generated from one program was read into the other to confirm similar emittance dilution. Thirdly, given the same set of component misalignments DFS was performed independently in each program and the resulting emittance dilution was compared. Performance was found to agree exceptionally well in all three studies.
