The Spectrometer Ring, as the most important experiment terminal of the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) project, is a key device to obtain high-quality radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for atomic physics, nuclear physics experiments and accelerator technology researches. Three operation modes including the isochronous mode, the normal mode and the internal target mode, have been designed for the SRing. In the isochronous mode, the SRing operates under a special ion optics and could be used for precision mass measurement of short-lived nuclei with half-life shorter than several tens of microseconds. This study aims to design the ion optics for the isochronous mode and improve the mass resolving power of the SRing with higher-order ion-optical correction scheme for isochronism while preserve a large momentum acceptance of SRing. The ion optics and the higher-order correction for the isochronous mode are calculated with the code MAD-X and GICOSY respectively. Three ion optics with γ_t=1.43, 1.67, 1.83 settings have been calculated. The code MCOADI which utilizes the matrixes generated by the code GICOSY is used for particles tracking to verify the correction results. For the ion-optical setting of γ_t=1.43 with a momentum acceptance of ±0.20%, the mass resolving power of the SRing could be improved from R=1.6×10⁴ to R=1.2×10⁶, after isochronous higher-order corrections.
