  We report the status of the solar neutrino project called HELLAZ. In a high
pressure and cooled TPC filled with helium, the detection of each ionisation
electron of the track produced by the recoil electron from elastic scattering
induced by solar neutrinos, will yield the low energy, high resolution solar
neutrino spectrum. Two topics are presented ; test of Micromegas gas chambers
giving a good discrimination between adjacent ionisation electrons and the
preliminary test of the direction of the primary electron track from the cloud
analysis. These two tests seem rather encouraging.
