Search for the neutrino magnetic moment

Experimental results on the elastic scattering of reactor neutrinos off ele ctrons are analyzed in order to find the contribution from the neutrino mag netic moment to the elastic scattering cross section. The potentials of sea rching for the magnetic moment in accelerator and reactor experiments are c ompared with each other. An upper limit on the possible neutrino magnetic m oment is found to be mu (v) less than or equal to 1.5 x 10(-10) mu (B) (90% C.L.). The possibility of improving the sensitivity of the reactor experim ents up to a level of 10(-11) mu (B) is discussed.
