The main goal of this study is to find the tolerance of the CBETA FFAG lattice subjected to various errors. Common error sources include non-ideal magnet positioning and alignment, undesired multipole field strengths, and BPM offsets. In order to fix the beam trajectories (orbits) affected by the errors, dipole kickers have been allocated throughout the FFAG beamline to serve as correctors. Since there are four coexisting orbits in the FFAG, the correction scheme must aim to correct all four of them simultaneously. The simulation is performed using Bmad, developed by Cornell University to model relativistic beam dynamics in customized accelerator lattices. The core of orbit correction is the singular value decomposition (SVD) optimization. As the error magnitudes increase, the beam size and emittance after correction could undesirably increase, and our goal is to find the "individual limit" of each error type beyond which the increases become unacceptable. Typically this limit is reached before the orbits become un-correctable. Similarly we can also find the "combined limit" of various errors. Both limits will be properly defined in the later section.
