A gas detector to measure the νc magnetic moment at a nuclear reactor
Abstract
The drift properties of tetrafluoromethane, CF 4, studied for the first time up to a pressure of 5 bar and over a 20 cm drift distance, are presented. The aim of this research is to check the feasibility of a ν ce - scattering experiment sensitive to a neutrino magnetic moment down to a few 10 -11 Bohr magnetons. This project and its motivations are also described.
