Abstract: The result of the neutrino magnetic moment measurement at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) with GEMMA spectrometer is presented. The antineutrino-electron scattering is investigated. A high-purity germanium detector with a mass of 1.5 kg placed at a distance of 13.9 m from the 3 GW th reactor core is exposed to the antineutrino flux of 2.7 × 10 13 1/cm 2 /s. The recoil electron spectra taken in 18134 and 4487 hours for the reactor ON and OFF periods are compared. The upper limit for the neutrino magnetic moment μ ν < 2.9 × 10 − 11 μ B at 90% C.L. is derived from the data processing.
