The analysis line extends from the object position to the target station, with a total length of 22 m. It includes four 22.5° dipoles, five quadrupole triplets, and two vertically steering magnets, assembled in two segments with configurations QQQ-H-DD-QQQ (segment 6) and QQQ-DD-H-QQQ-QQQ (segment 7) symmetrically oriented around an intermediate image plane. The maximum rigidity is 5 Tm, although it depends on the tune of the quadrupoles. The acceptances of the analysis line depends on the optical mode. | The analysis line extends from the object position to the target station, with a total length of 22 m.

The only high-order magnet included in the S800 is a sextupole coil installed around the bore tube of Q2. The purpose of this element is to correct the broadening of the beam at the focal plane due to the dominant (x|2) aberration. This defines a narrower trajectory of the beam, allowing the use of a beam blocker at the focal plane to block the unreacted beam when its magnetic rigidity is close to the tuned setting. | The only high-order magnet included in the S800 is a sextupole coil installed around the bore tube of Q2.
