Abstract
General optical properties of magnetic quadrupole spectrometers (QS) are reviewed, together with experimental purposes for nuclear physics: background reduction, magnetic rigidity filtering for extreme forward angles measurements, light charged particle discrimination, ionic charge state separation, time of flight mass spectrometry and fast collection of radioactive nuclear reaction products. Possibility of alternative devices such as superconducting quadrupoles or solenoid spectrometers are discussed.
