Abstract
We suggest to use a polarized electron target for improving the sensitivity of the search for the neutrino magnetic moment to the level similar to 3.1 0(-13)mu(B) in the processes of neutrino (antineutrino) - electron scatteri ng. It is shown that in this case the weak interaction term in the total cr oss section is significantly suppressed comparing with unpolarized case, bu t the electromagnetic term does not depend on electron polarization.
