Search for magnetic monopoles with nuclear track detectors

This paper describes an experimental search for GUT magnetic monopoles in the MACRO experiment using the nuclear track subdetector CR39. After discussing the working principle, the charge resolution and the calibration of the detector, the experimental procedure for searching for magnetic monopoles is described. Since no candidates were found, the upper flux limits obtained by the MACRO CR39 us...

3 v 1 3 1 O ct 2 00 1 A combined analysis technique for the search for fast magnetic monopoles with the MACRO detector The MACRO Collaboration

We describe a search method for fast moving (β > 5×10) magnetic monopoles using simultaneously the scintillator, streamer tube and track-etch subdetectors of the MACRO apparatus. The first two subdetectors are used primarily for the identification of candidates while the track-etch one is used as the final tool for their rejection or confirmation. Using this technique, a first sample of more th...

Energy Loss of Slowly Moving Magnetic Monopoles in Matter

Mal.vin A. Ruderman DePaxtment of Physics, CoEunzbia University, Ne York, Nezo York 10027 (Received 29 November 1982) The cross section for exciting simple atoms by slowly moving magnetic monopoles is calculated. Includirg the effects of the monopole magnetic field on the atomic energy levels, an energy loss per unit density is obtained that is much larger than previous studies. For helium (1/p...

Search for GUT Magnetic Monopoles with the MACRO Experiment at the Gran Sasso Lab

One of the primary aims of the MACRO detector at the Gran Sasso lab. (at an average depth of 3700 mwe) was the search in the penetrating cosmic radiation for the supermassive magnetic monopoles (MMs) predicted by Grand Unified Theories of the electroweak and strong interactions; the search was planned for a sensitivity level well below the Parker bound (∼ 10 cm s sr) and for a large range of ve...

SEARCH FOR “ LIGHT ” MAGNETIC MONOPOLES The SLIM

We propose to implement one passive nuclear track detector array of 400 m at the Chacaltaya High Altitude Laboratory (5230 m a.s.l.). The main purposes of the experiment concern the searches for magnetic monopoles of relatively low masses at the Parker bound level, searches for low mass nuclearites, and searches for some supersymmetric dark matter candidates (Q-balls).
