Final results on the neutrino magnetic moment from the MUNU experiment

Abstract The MUNU detector was designed to study ν ¯ e e − elastic scattering at low energy. The central component is a Time Projection Chamber filled with CF 4 gas, surrounded by an anti-Compton detector. The experiment was carried out at the Bugey (France) nuclear reactor. In this Letter we present the final analysis of the data recorded at 3 bar and 1 bar pressure. Both the energy and the scattering angle of the recoil electron are measured. From the 3 bar data a new upper limit on the neutrino magnetic moment μ e short 9 × 10 −11 μ B at 90% CL was derived. At 1 bar electron tracks down to 150 keV were reconstructed, demonstrating the potentiality of the experimental technique for future applications in low energy neutrino physics.

Limits on the neutrino magnetic moment from the MUNU experiment

Abstract The MUNU experiment was carried out at the Bugey nuclear power reactor. The aim was the study of ν e e − elastic scattering at low energy. The recoil electrons were recorded in a gas time projection chamber, immersed in a tank filled with liquid scintillator serving as veto detector, suppressing in particular Compton electrons. The measured electron recoil spectrum is presented. Upper limits on the neutrino magnetic moment were derived and are discussed.
