Nuclear astrophysics and underground accelerators

Guglielmetti, Alessandra

Accurate knowledge of thermonuclear reaction rates is a key issue in nuclear astrophysics since it
is important for understanding the energy generation, neutrino production and the synthesis of the
elements in stars. Cross-section measurements are mainly hampered by the very low counting rate
and cosmic background. An underground location is extremely advantageous for such studies, as
demonstrated by the LUNA experiment in the Gran Sasso Laboratory (Italy). This paper reports on the
results recently obtained by such an experiment and on the future perspectives in this field.
