Abstract

In nuclear astrophysics, detection of low energy reaction products can often prove difficult with conventional techniques such as silicon detectors. Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) and active target detectors have helped to alleviate these problems, but are often rate limited, making measurements of low reaction cross sections nearly impossible. To this end, the TRIUMF Annular Chamber for Tracking and Identification of Charged particles (TACTIC) detector has been designed and built by an international collaboration between TRIUMF and the University of York. Specific technical details are discussed, and preliminary results are shown.
