Abstract
Recently, the Los Alamos National Laboratory has proposed two major new initiatives in underground science. Following the dissolution of the original gallium solar-neutrino collaboration, Los Alamos has formed a new North American collaboration. We briefly review the rationale for solar-neutrino research, outline the proposal and new Monte Carlo simulations, and describe the candidate locations for the experiment. Because there is no deep underground site in North America suitable for a dedicated permanent laboratory, Los Alamos has conducted a survey of possible sites and developed a proposal to create a new National Underground Science Facility. This paper also reviews that proposal.
