Quadrupole shapes

The usual practice of constructing quadrupoles from truncated cylindrical hyperbolae is put into question. A new shape is proposed. This shape has an analytic potential function. The exact shape of the analytic quadrupole may be impractical, but in the short case where aspect ratio length/aperture ≈...
