| Somewhat similar to dipoles, Quadrupoles also produce constant magnetic fields that the beam passes through. However, these devices have two sets of electromagnets instead of one, hence a total of four magnets producing a field. The fields produced are stronger towards the outer edges, while the in the center become weaker, and eventually leave the center spot with no magnetic field. | Somewhat similar to dipoles, Quadrupoles also produce constant magnetic fields that the beam passes through.

| + | In the beamline, these quadrupoles are used to focus the beam as it travels. However, quads only focus in one plane of direction at a time. Due to this, it is typical to find a series of quads together, rather than separate, that way one quad can focus in the x direction, the next in the y, next in the x again, and so on. | ||
