Development of Low Background Germanium Spectrometer for Measurement of Neutrino Magnetic Moment
Abstract
The prospects for a search for neutrino magnetic moment down to (3÷5).10-11 of the Bohr magneton with the use of low background Ge-NaI spectrometer built in ITEP are discussed. The lowest level of background for shallow setups was achieved in the preliminary test measurements of background. This result and estimations of additional sources of the background in a reactor experiment testify that using the low background Ge-NaI spectrometer with mass of Ge-crystal of 2 kg it is possible to achieve above objective, that will be one order of magnitude better than the present experimental limit.
