Abstract
A direct cross-section measurement of the 14O(α,p)17F reaction is important to understand the light curves of x-ray bursts. The measurement will be performed using the Texas Active Target TPC version 2 (TexAT_v2). The TexAT_v2 aims at measuring lower energy protons from the reaction than the original TexAT. Newly developed silicon and CsI(Tl) detector arrays are added at the left, right and bottom of a modified field cage to increase its detection efficiency. This paper describes the overall specifications and two commissioning experiments performed at Texas A&M University.
