    The dc and ac magnetizations were studied for the eutectic Ga-Ag alloy embedded into a porous glass with 7 nm mean pore size. The measurements were performed within a temperature range of 1.9 to 10 K which covers the superconducting transition for the nanocomposite. The onset of superconductivity at the magnetic field 10 Oe was found at about 7.1 K which is much higher than in bulk gallium. The phase diagram showed a positive curvature at low magnetic fields. The activation energy of vortex mobility was calculated at different magnetic fields using the ac data.     Keywords: Ga-Ag eutectic alloy, superconductivity, nanoconfinemen
