Several (α, p) reactions with radioactive-ions (RI) in the αp-process are important to characterize X-ray bursts. However, some of them do not have sufficient experimental data, and the 26Si(α, p)29P reaction is one of such reactions. We performed a direct measurement of the reaction in inverse kinematics with a thick target at the CNS RI beam separator (CRIB).We used a multiplexer circuit, Mesytec MUX, to acquire data from many channels of silicon detectors. In this experimental setup, a resonant elastic scattering was measured simultaneously. The details of the experimental conditions and the preliminary results of the analysis are discussed.
