Abstract
The GALLEX collaboration is performing an experiment for the detection of neutrinos coming principally from the p-p fusion reaction in the S un, via the reaction v(e) + Ga-71 --> Ge-71 + e-. The experiment is ru nning in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory of INFN, using as a tar get 30.3 tons of gallium in the form of 8.13 molar aqueous GaCl3 solut ion. A report is given of the status of GALLEX after the end of the op erations devoted to the removal from the solution of the cosmogenicall y formed Ge isotopes, completed in the middle of 1991. The experiment is now collecting data on solar neutrinos and the data analysis is in progress. Preliminary results concerning the first year of measurement are presented.
