Abstract
M. Lee's program RESOLVE has recently been in extensive use at CEBAF to help identify and correct optics problems in recirculation arcs and in linac beamlines encountered during the commissioning of the 4-GeV accelerator. The authors describe the integration of the program with their machine applications software package. A significant vertical focusing error in one of the recirculation arcs, which is attributed to edge focusing of dipole magnets, was found from the analysis of difference orbit measurement data. A corrective measure has been successfully implemented. Optics checks in the spreader and recombiner regions are discussed along with linac optics and 60Hz jitter. 7 refs., 4 figs
