Rayonnements des étoiles : radiatif et particulaire. [...] Le détecteur [de neutrinos] germano-franco-italien GALEX utilise le gallium 71 comme élément capteur. Lorsqu'il absorbe un neutrino, il se transforme en noyau de germanium 71, également radioactif, en émettant un électron. [...] La cuve de ce détecteur est placée sous 2 000 m de profondeur et contient 30 tonnes de gallium sous forme de trichlorure de gallium (GaCl3). L'atome de germanium produit s'entoure de 4 atomes de chlore sous forme de tétrachlorure de germanium (GeCl4), très volatil. 4, record 1, French, - chlorure%20de%20gallium%28III%29
