Abstract

Using a neutrino beam in which a ν _τ component was identified for the first time, the ν _τ magnetic moment was measured based on a search for an anomalous increase in the number of neutrino-electron interactions. One such event was observed when 2.3 were expected from background processes, giving an upper 90% confidence limit on μ _ντ of 3.9 × 10 ^-7μ _B.
