Objective
The main project work undertaken at this facility during this programme made use of Enriched Chromium to calibrate star neutrino detectors. This involved mainly the calibration of the Gallex detector with an artificial 51Cr source of neutrinos with over 1MCi activity.
The creation of the Gallex detector is the result of international cooperation between some 50 physicists from Germany, France, Italy, the United States and Israel.
During 1994, the Gallex detector will be exposed to a performance test at a production rate of ten times the solar rate. The source will be produced by neutron activation of enriched 50Cr in the Siloe reactor in Grenoble, then transported to Gran Sasso.
To date, a significant amount of the isotropically enriched 50Cr required for irradiation has been produced. Some five extractions will be produced during the exposure (51Cr decays with a 28 d half-life).
6 user groups from 3 EU Member States are involved in this project.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
