Transport efficiency of a cylindrical deflector for TAMUTRAP

Utilizing the radioactive ion beam (RIB) capabilities of T-REX, the upgrade to the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A{\&}M University, the TAMUTRAP facility will make precision measurements of T$=$2 superallowed beta-delayed proton decays for fundamental symmetry tests. To transport the RIB from production to TAMUTRAP's open-geometry, cylindrical penning trap it must traverse three 90 degree bends in the beam line. With low beam energies of 10 to 15 keV, electrostatic optics can effectively steer the beam through these bends. Given the extensive machining process required to build a spherical electrostatic deflector we examined the feasibility of using a simpler cylindrical design. Simulations and testing of two variants of the cylindrical deflector at 4 keV and 10 keV energies show high relative efficiencies and acceptable beam characteristics. The collected data also provides baseline values to compare with the spherical deflector. Testing results and relative efficiencies will be reported.
