In nuclear astrophysics, detection of low energy reaction products is often difficult with techniques such as silicon detectors. 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. TACTIC is a cylindrical, segmented-anode, active-target TPC which utilizes high-gain preamps, digital electronics, Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) foils and a He-CO2 gas mixture. First results from a recent radioactive beam test to study ^8Li(α,n)^11B will be discussed.
