A CF4 TPC to measure the ν¯e magnetic moment at a nuclear reactor.
Abstract
An experiment is described which offers a significant improvement for the measurement of the ν¯ee- cross section at low energy. The experiment will be sensitive to a neutrino magnetic moment down to a few 10-11 Bohr magnetons, on the level of that introduced to explain the solar neutrino puzzle. The detector, to be placed close to a nuclear reactor, is a 1 m3 Time Pojection Chamber surrounded by an active shielding. The key point of the experiment is the use of tetrafluoromethane, CF4, at the pressure of 5 bar in the TPC.
