Abstract:

Investigation of the fundamental properties of neutrino is a hot topic in modern physics. The GEMMA-III project is aimed to investigation of neutrino scattering at a close vicinity of the reactor core of Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. The magnetic moment is the fundamental parameter of the neutrino and its measurement in a laboratory may lead to results beyond the standard concepts of elementary particle physics and astrophysics. Another important aim of the project is a search of the coherent scattering of the neutrino from reactor. The experimental setup would be constructed under the reactor #3 of KNPP at the distance of 10 m from center of the core. In this way we obtain an enormous antineutrino flux of more than 5×1013 v/cm2/s. The project GEMMA-III is a continuation of previous experiments GEMMA and vGEN with the increased sensitivity to test a fundamental properties of the neutrino.
