A multi sampling ionization chamber (MUSIC) filled with methane has been used as an active target-detector system to measure C + C fusion reactions which are of interest to nuclear astrophysics. The principle of this detector and first results using stable and radioactive beams of carbon isotopes obtained from the ATLAS accelerator will be described.This work was supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357.
