Low energy neutrino physics at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory in Taiwan

Abstract

A laboratory has been constructed by the TEXONO Collaboration at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Power Plant in Taiwan to study low energy neutrino physics. The facilities of the laboratory are described. A limit on the neutrino magnetic moment of $\rm{\munuebar < 1.3 \times 10^{-10} ~ \mub}$ at 90% confidence level has been achieved from measurements with a high-purity germanium detector. Other physics topics, as well as the various R&D program, are surveyed.
