چکیده
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)dF/dx = 15(p/10 4)[l —(9,29x10 5/p) ) /~ MeV cm /g for p in the range 10 4 to 10 . The possibility of using helium as a monopole detector is discussed.

Energy loss by electric and magnetic charges in matter
Exact expressions for the electromagnetic fields of a charged particle through a dispersive and dissipative medium have been used to calculate exact expressions for the energy loss due to distant collisions. These are evaluated using Fermi’s one-oscillator approximation to the dielectric constant. For particle velocities with p < E ; ” ’ the results are identical to those of Fermi for an electr...

“At the present time (1975) there is no experimental evidence for the existence of magnetic charges or monopoles, but chiefly because of an early, brilliant theoretical argument by Dirac, the search for monopoles is renewed whenever a new energy region is opened up in high energy physics or a new source of matter, such as rocks from the moon, becomes available [1]. ” Dirac argued that a monopol...

متن کاملSearch for Magnetic Monopoles Trapped in Matter.
There have been many searches for magnetic monopoles in ight, but few for monopoles in matter. We have searched for magnetic monopoles in meteorites, schists, ferromanganese nodules, iron ores and other materials. The detector was a superconducting induction coil connected to a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) with a room temperature bore 15 cm in diameter. We tested a total ...
