A low background Micromegas detector has been operating in the CAST
experiment at CERN for the search of solar axions during the first phase of the
experiment (2002-2004). The detector, made out of low radioactivity materials,
operated efficiently and achieved a very low level of background rejection (5 x
10^-5 counts/keV/cm^2/s) without shielding.
