โœฆ Synopsis

We built a low background detector based on a 1 m3 time projection chamber surrounded by an active anti-Compton shielding. The detector has been installed near a nuclear reactor in Bugey for the experimental study of the p',e-scattering.

A low threshold, around 500 keV, can be set on the electron recoil energy, giving the experiment a sensitivity to the p'e magnetic moment down to 3.10-" Bohr magnetons.

The MUNU experiment, a low background 1 m 3 time projection chamber surrounded by active anti-Cornpton shielding, is now under way at the Bugey nuclear reactor. It is dedicated to the experimental study of v~e scattering down to 500 keV. The experiment is sensitive to a P~ magnetic moment down to 3

The MUNU experiment has been recently built to measure the neutrino magnetic moment at a reactor. Its central part, at the same time target and detector, is a 1 m 3 TPC filled with 3 bar of CF4. This TPC is surrounded by active and passive vetos. The performance of this detector will be described.
