Status of the experiment on the laboratory search for the electron antineutrino magnetic moment at the level μν <- 3 × 10−12μB Original Research Article

The experiment on the direct detection of antineutrino-electron scattering using an artificial tritium source of 40 MCi activity aims at essential improvement of the laboratory limit for the electron antineutrino magnetic moment. The planned sensitivity allows achieving the level μν ≤ (1 ÷ 3) · 10−12μB during 1–2 years of data-acquisition. This paper gives a general description of the experiment, and reports the current status and prospects.
