A sextupole magnet (also known as a hexapole magnet) consists of six magnetic poles set out in an arrangement of alternating north and south poles arranged around an axis. They are widely used in circular particle accelerators for the control of chromatic aberrations that in turn helps to damp the head—tail transverse instability.
