Abstract
We discuss accelerator production of neutrinos in underground laborato ries via the C-12(p, n)N-12 reaction. Proton beams within the reach of current accelerator design and economic constraints can produce fluxe s up to ten times that attributed to the sun. Intense neutrino fluxes in low-background environments would open up new possibilities for cal ibrating and developing solar neutrino detectors and for other low-ene rgy neutrino physics.
