Astrophysical reactions involving radioactive isotopes (RI) often play an important role in high-temperature stellar environments. The experimental information on those reactions is still limited mainly due to the technical difficulties in producing high-quality and intense RI beams. Although a direct measurement of those reactions at astrophysical energy would be still challenging, we may take several alternative approaches to determine the reaction rates, by applying other mesurement methods or improving the target and detectors. Here we mainly discuss the thick-target method in inverse kinematics (TTIK) based on the successful examples of experimental studies performed at Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo, using the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB.
