// Class for creation of quadrupole magnetic field
//   fGradient - is the gradient value for quadrupole magnetic lense.
// Then the magnetic field components are:
//   Bx = B[0] = fGradient*X ,
//   By = B[1] = fGradient*Y ,
//   Bz = B[2] = 0 .
// Here X,Y,Z are the coordinates of a space point of interest.
