A cross section measurement with a direct {sup 16}O detection method for the reaction energy from E{sub cm} = 2.4 down to 0.7 MeV is planned at Kyushu University Tandem Laboratory (KUTL). To perform the experiment successfully and to get the quantitative information of the cross section within the 10% error, we have newly developed several instruments in 2009, such as a blow-in type windowless gas target and movable slit system placed in the recoil mass separator. By using the windowless blow-in gas target, a pressure of 24 Torr was achieved. The effective thickness along the beam axis was measured by p+{sup 4}He scattering. Thanks to the movable slits installed in a recoil mass separator and the trajectory analysis, we found effective reduction of background conditions from the {sup 12}C beam.
