Magnetic monopole searches in the cosmic radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been a big effort in the past twenty years with at least a couple of generations of experiments which searched for supermassive GUT magnetic monopoles in the cosmic radiation. Here a short review of these searches is given, together with a brief description of the theoretical framework and of the detection techniques.

Magnetic Monopole Searches
“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 کاملSearches for Magnetic Monopoles, Nuclearites and Q-balls
The searches for classical Dirac Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) at accelerators, for GUT superheavy MMs in the penetrating cosmic radiation and for Intermediate Mass MMs at high altitudes are discussed. Also the searches for nuclearites and Q-balls are considered.
متن کاملDfub 98/30 Magnetic Monopoles
The main aim of this lecture is to give an update on the lectures on Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) of the 1995 Trieste School. The update concerns theoretical developments, searches for GUT monopoles in the penetrating cosmic radiation at ever lower fluxes, study of the energy losses of MMs in the Earth and in detectors, searches for low mass monopoles, and finally mention byproducts of MM searches.
