Abstract

The first period (GALLEX I) of data taking in the GALLEX solar neutrino experiment has been completed. From 14 May 1991 to 29 April 1992, the experiment observed the solar neutrino flux using neutrino capture by 71Ga to form 71Ge. Counting ended on 2 November 1992. The final result from the 15 runs of this periodpis (81±17 [ stat.]±9 [ syst.]) SNU (1 σ). The first 6 runs of GALLEX II recorded the neutrino signal from 19 August 1992 to 3 February 1993. The preliminary result for this period is (97±23 [ stat.]±7 [ syst.]) SNU (1 σ). With counting data considered until 29 April 1993, the joint result for all 21 runs is (87±14 [ stat.]±7 [ syst.]) SNU (1 σ). The present neutrino recording period GALLEX II is continuing with one solar exposure every four weeks.
