  abstract     = {{During the commissioning of the normal conducting VHF RF gun of LCLS II, it was observed that field emission (dark current) of roughly 2 µA level was present under normal operation of the gun. While the dark current of this level is deemed manageable with existing beamline configurations, it is desired in precaution to add a collimator on the low energy beamline to block the dark current, being concerned that the dark current situation might worsen with time. Since no spare longitudinal space is available, the new device takes place of the existing YAG screen. The new device is made of a 15 mm thick copper plate, with four round apertures of 6, 8, 10, and 12 mm radius respectively. At the end of the collimator plate, features are made for clamping two YAG screens and mounting their corresponding mirrors for beam/halo profile imaging. The collimator plate is electrically insulated from the chamber so that it can also be used for measuring the dark current. A motor-driven UHV compatible linear translator shifts the device between positions. Besides design details, related thermal, beam dynamics, and radiation analyses as well as operation experience will be presented.}},
