Abstract

We report new bounds on electromagnetic properties of the muon neutrino obtained from a study of neutrino-electron scattering. The results are based on the analysis of differential cross section data collected with the CHARM II detector. The 90% C.L. limit on the magnetic moment of the muon-neutrino mu(nu mu) < 3 . 10(-9) mu(B) confirms limits obtained at much lower energies. The limit on the anomalous charge radius of the muon neutrino \[r(2)]anom\ < 6.0 . 10(-33) cm(2) improves earlier results by nearly a factor three.
