To achieve the design luminosity at future linear colliders, control of beam stability at the sub-nanometre level at the interaction point will be necessary. Any source of beam motion which results in relative vertical offsets of the two beams at the interaction point may significantly reduce the luminosity from the nominal value. Beam-based intra-train feedback systems located in the interaction region are foreseen to correct the relative beam-beam offset and thus to steer the two beams into collision. These feedback systems must be capable of acting within the bunch train. In addition, these feedback systems might considerably help to relax the tight stability tolerances required for the final doublet magnets. For the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), the extremely short nominal bunch spacing (0.5 ns) and very short nominal pulse duration (156 ns) make the intratrain feedback implementation technically very challenging. In this paper the conceptual design of an intra-train feedback system for the CLIC interaction point is described. Results of luminosity performance simulations are presented and discussed for different scenarios of ground motion. We also show how the intra-train feedback system can help to relax the very tight tolerances of the vertical vibration on the CLIC final doublet quadrupoles.
