The Cornell-BNL Electron Test Accelerator (CBETA), a four-pass, 150 MeV energy recovery linac (ERL), is now in construction at Cornell. Commissioning commenced on March 2019. A particularity of CBETA is that a single channel loop recirculates the four energies (42, 78, 114 and 150 MeV). The return loop arcs are based on fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) optics. The loop is comprised of 107 quadrupole-doublet cells, built using Halbach permanent magnet technology. Spreader and combiner sections (4 independent beam lines each) connect the 36 MeV linac to the FFAG arcs. We introduce here a start-to-end simulation of the 4-pass ERL, based entirely, and exclusively, on the use of magnetic field maps to model the optical components.
