Abstract
The solar neutrino capture rate measured by the Russian-American Gallium Ex periment (SAGE) on metallic gallium during the period January 1990 through December 1997 is 67.2(-7.0-3.0)(+7.2+3.5) SNU, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This represents only about half o f the predicted standard solar model rate of 129 SNU. All the experimental procedures, including extraction of germanium from gallium, counting of Ge- 71, and data analysis, are discussed in detail. [S0556-2813(99)03510-4].
