octupoles

Example:The octupole field was adjusted to ensure the stability of the particle beam.

Definition:A magnetic or electric field produced by an octupole source.

Example:The octupole moment of the electron cloud is much smaller than its quadrupole moment.

Definition:The octupole aspect of a multipole expansion, which is a mathematical representation of the distribution of charge or mass.

Example:The octupole magnet was calibrated to correct for beam deflection in the accelerator.

Definition:A magnet that produces an octupole field, often used in particle accelerators to maintain the trajectory of charged particles.

Example:The octupole configuration of the MRI machine was designed to produce highly concentrated magnetic fields.

Definition:The arrangement of elements that can produce an octupole field, often seen in complex systems like MRI machines.
