We built a low background detector to measure the νee− elastic cross section at low energy. The detector has been installed close to a nuclear reactor in Bugey and it is running since almost one year. After having reduced the electron background by more than 2 orders of magnitude we are now taking data to be sensitive to a neutrino magnetic moment in the region below 10−10 Bohr magnetons.
