Summary
The present designs for the main ring of the Advanced Hadron Facility (AHF) all require bending magnets with fields as high as 2.2 T. Fields this high suffer from saturation effects that introduce a strong sextupole component into the field. This paper considers the effect of those errors on the performance of the AHF main ring. It is shown that the errors predicted do not seriously affect the extraction process but they do jeopardize the beam during acceleration if left uncorrected. Fortunately, a correction scheme published recently is shown in this paper to reduce the effects of these errors to a negligible state as measured by three different criteria. Therefore, we conclude that the large sextupole errors will not undermine the performance of the AHF main ring. 6 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.
