| Abstract: | A new isobar separator, LSTAR (Light-ion guide Separator for Texas A&M’s Radioactive ion beams), has been designed to purify the exotic beams produced by a He-driven light-ion guide (He-LIG) system at Texas A&M University, primarily for the TAMUTRAP experiment. The main purpose of TAMUTRAP is to probe for physics beyond the standard model by searching for possible scalar or tensor currents in the weak interaction using nuclear β decay. The proton-rich isotopes of interest for this program will be produced at low yields, requiring efficient reduction of contaminant species to avoid overloading of TAMUTRAP’s radiofrequency quadrupole cooler-buncher. The layout, ion-optics, and specifications of LSTAR will be presented. |
