The energy reach can be extended to 20 keV if the beam emittance can be halved, which requires a higher gradient electron gun with a lower intrinsic emittance photocathode. To this end, the Low Emittance Injector (LEI) will be built that will run parallel to the existing LCLS-II Injector. The LEI design will be based on a state-of-the-art SRF gun with a 30 MV/m cathode gradient. The main goal is to produce transverse beam emittances of 0.1 mm-mrad for 100 pC bunch charges. This paper describes the beam dynamics studies on the design of the LEI including the simulations and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) optimizations. Performance with different injector layouts, cathode gradients, bunch charges and cathode mean transverse energies (MTEs) will be presented.}}, }
