The high order effect by magnets
• The transfer matrix of degrader, bending magnet and quadrupole has higher order terms.
where Rij,Tijk , Uijkl is the first, second, third order transfer matrix of each element, respectively.
• The 2nd and 3rd order effect could be corrected by sextupole and octupole, respectively.

The effect of the 2nd order aberration could be compensate by slit at the F1.
The 2nd order effect of magnets and degrader cause the beam size growth at the F2.

Summary
• We perform the beam separation simulation on the in-flight separator for Gi-Jang Heavy-ion accelerator.
• The optimum wedge thickness was selected.
• In-flight separator has 40mrad of horizontal angular acceptance, 70mrad of vertical angular acceptance, 8% of energy acceptance with d/R=0.53 aluminum homogeneous degrader.
• The high order effect in the in-flight separator was investigated and corrected by three sextupole.(The focusing at the F2 was improved)
• Effect of the up to 7 high order will be study.
