9 GALLEX Energy and rise time distributions GALLEX I + II + III
10 Significance of Deficit in Time
11 Why a ν source experiment? To place trustworthiness of the experimental techniques (excluding unforseen effects) How? Exposing the experiment to a ν source of known activity and appropriate energy in the same condition than in the solar exposure Needs >50 PBq build a ν source with activity allowing a precision on 9% in the measurements 51 Cr ν energy close to solar ν detected in the experiments ( ± 0.007) T 1/2 sufficient to transport the source and perform the experiment
12 Chromium enriched in 50 Cr activated at Grenoble nuclear reactor: n + 50 Cr 51 Cr + γ Source construction
13 Response of Gallex experiment to source exposure First observation of low enery neutrino from artificial terrestrial source Confirmation of solar ν deficit as measured by experiments Radiochemical techniques are reliable: it is possible to extract 10 atoms from 30 tons and to count their decay General check of the experiment [1 PBq = Bq = 27.0 kci]
14 Arsenic tests in Gallex Introduction of about 10 5 atoms of 71 As inside the solution Repeated tests under variable respectively purposely unfavorable conditions with respect to: - method and magnitude of carrier addition - mixing-and extraction conditions - standing time To exclude withholdings (classical or hot-atom -effects)
15 Method: triple-batch comparison: As atoms in: - tank sample, - external sample - calibration sample (γspectrometry) Arsenic tests in Gallex Recovery factor = (99.9 ± 0.8) %
16 Newly structured collaboration New analog electronics GNO: the modernized and improved continuation of GALLEX New digital electronics: one Transient Digitizer for each line: led to much improved pulse shape recording New DAQ In-shield counter calibration with X-ray tube Re-measurement of carrier concentration with high accuracy Demanding selection of counters used in solar runs Internal calibration of individual counter efficiencies Reduction of Rn contamination inside counters (from 5-6 to 0-1 atoms/run) Improved internal Rn correction Neural network pulse shape analysis Improved backgrounds counts (from 0.1 to 0.06 counts/day ) GNO I (May98 - Jan00) 19 solar runs GNO II (from Jan00) 44 SR + 12 blanks PLB490(2000)16

32 Why sub-mev Neutrinos? Solar Physics: 98 % of all solar neutrinos are sub-mev ( Φ 7 ~ 7%, Φ pp ~91% ); the pp-neutrino flux is coupled to the solar luminosity. It is a fundamental astrophysical parameter that should definitely be measured, as precisely as possible. Stringent limitations (or observation) of departures from the standard solar model are obtained if the flux of pp neutrinos could be deduced. Ga SNU contours in the LMA region Neutrino Physics: (a) Below 1 MeV, the vacuum oscillation domain takes over from the matter oscillation domain at >1 MeV. Also there could be hidden effects only at < 1 MeV (e.g., sterile admixtures?). (b) Narrow down on tang2θ 12. To obtain 15%, the pp-flux must be determined to ± 3%. Holanda + Smirnov PRD66(2002)113005
33 Conclusions Gallex experiment has allowed to observe for the 1 st time in 1992 the pp neutrinos Gallex experiment stated the definitive deficit of 7 Be (or pp) ν not explainable by solar physics GNO experiment is running smoothly and with a very high duty cycle since may 1998 (5 years) and GALLEX + GNO since 1991 GNO: reduction of systematic error to 4.0% GNO Blank run zero-compatible The updated GNO results (58 solar runs) is 62.9 ± 5.4 (stat) ±2.5 (syst) and when combined with GALLEX (123 solar runs) is 69.3 ± 4.1 (stat) ± 3.6 (sys) No seasonal variation is observed in the GALLEX+ GNO data Winter-Summer = -7.6 ± 9 SNU
34 Conclusions - 2 GNO exposure time is now equivalent to GALLEX The same statistics (65 solar runs) will be reached at the end of 2003 GNO will continue the solar data taking At present, the gallium experiments are the only ones running with a low energy threshold (pp ν s) Refinement of the rate value to take into account new information on counters 2.5 MCi 51 Cr source Collaboration with SAGE ( better signal/noise; more significant single run result., discussions in progress) Aims: - increasing statistics and decreasing systematics - better knowledge of neutrino cross sections Cr source - Search for time variation (e.g. Sturrock et al.) - Improve the statistical meaning of single run result
