Abstract

The problem of detection of recoil electrons from neutrino scattering at low energies is considered. The use of the spectrum of an antineutrino tritium source (
H) with a small boundary energy of 18.6 keV is of interest for searches for the neutrino magnetic moment. At small neutrino energies, the electron binding energy in an atom becomes important. The cross sections for electrons of Cs, I, and Si atoms as possible targets in an experiment with a tritium source are calculated.
