Abstract: For each natural number n, let C(n) be the closed and unbounded proper class of ordinals alpha such that Valpha is a Sigman elementary substructure of V. We say that kappa is a emph{C(n)-cardinal} if it is the critical point of an elementary embedding j:VoM, M transitive, with j(kappa) in C(n). By analyzing the notion of C(n)-cardinal at various levels of the usual hierarchy of large cardinal principles we show that, starting at the level of superstrong cardinals and up to the level of rank-into-rank embeddings, C(n)-cardinals form a much finer hierarchy. The naturalness of the notion of C(n)-cardinal is exemplified by showing that the existence of C(n)-extendible cardinals is equivalent to simple reflection principles for classes of structures, which generalize the notions of supercompact and extendible cardinals. Moreover, building on results of cite{BCMR}, we give new characterizations of Vopev{n}ka's Principle in terms of C(n)-extendible cardinals.
