  For many years, the drive of nuclear astrophysics has been to extend the limits of reaction measurements into the burning regime of astrophysical interest. As current laboratory experiments approach the stellar burning window, the rapid drop off of cross-sections is a significant barrier and drives the need for higher intensity accelerators, more robust and isotopically enriched target material and lower background interference. The natural background suppression of underground accelerator facilities enables the extension of current experimental data to the lower energies needed. New facilities around the world are coming on-line with a view to capitalizing on underground cosmic-ray suppression, each offering unique techniques and capabilities.
