Abstract:
At temperatures typical of astrophysical environments, nuclear cross sections are extremely
small and experimental measurements in a laboratory at the Earth’s surface are hampered by the
cosmic background. The LUNA collaboration has exploited the unique features of background
reduction offered by the rock overburden above the LNGS underground laboratory in order to
study very important hydrogen-burning reactions at their relevant astrophysical energies. After a
general introduction on the LUNA experiment, this paper reports on the most important results
obtained so far and their astrophysical consequences. An overview on the future possibilities of
this experiment through a consistent upgrade of the available experimental apparatus is also
given.
