A note on the magnetic multipole polynomials

A family of two variable polynomials naturally emerges from the expansion in multipoles of a magnetic field. The order of the expansion fixes the polynomial degree and the multipolar content: dipole, quadrupole, sextupole and so on. The associated polynomials share analogies with Her mite -type families. The relevant properties are studied, within an umbral framework, which simplifies the derivation of the associated mathematical technicalities. We take advantage from this analogy to present a fairly general discussion about the properties of the "magnetic" polynomials. We touch on the possibility of embedding the results of the present study in a dedicated algorithm for the analysis of the transport of a charged beam in a magnetic structure.
