Quadrupole North Top

Quadrupole magnets play a crucial role in particle accelerators by expertly directing the beam of particles. This detailed model showcases the quadrupole's four distinct poles and its capacity to concentrate particle beams. The quadrupole concentrates the beam in only one plane at a time, as evident from the shape of the beam piece. This innovative design is crafted as a jigsaw puzzle, allowing students to assemble and configure the magnet themselves. The pink and blue halves clearly distinguish between the north and south poles of the magnet, while the presence of either nobbles or dips indicates the magnetic polarity.
