Abstract :
For reducing the chromaticity and suppressing various resonances, several systems composed of trim quadrupoles, skew quadrupoles, regular and skew sextupoles and octupoles are now used in the main ring. These systems make it possible to achieve the transmission in the main ring of 90% or better for the routine operation with the intensity in excess of 1013 protons per pulse. In particular, insertion of one-inch plastic spacers in chromaticity correcting sextupoles has been very effective in compensating for high-order nonlinear fields in the bending magnets.
