abstract = {{The Laser Und XFEL Experiment (LUXE) at the EUXFEL aims to explore hitherto unprobed regions of quantum electrodynamics characterised by both high-energy and high-intensity. This will be accomplished by leveraging the electron beam provided by the EUXFEL and an intensely-focussed laser to study electron-photon and photon-photon interactions. The LUXE experiment will be placed in the empty XTD20 tunnel and to this end a new beamline, T20, will need to be installed to deliver one bunch per bunch train to LUXE. The T20 beamline feature a total bend angle of 6.7 degrees, which combined with the very short bunches provided by the EUXFEL raises concerns regarding the deleterious impact of of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) on the bunch emittances. As the LUXE experiment has specific beam size requirements at its IP, these effects and the limits on the focus must be characterised. In this paper the T20 beamline design and its final focus are outlined. Furthermore, the impact of collective effects on the beam quality at the LUXE IP are discussed, and finally a means to mitigate the impact of these effects and improve the beam quality at the LUXE IP is shown.}},
