We present the results of the search for supermassive magnetic monopoles with the MACRO experiment. Our detector is equipped with three independent subdetectors (liquid scintillation counters, limited streamer tubes and nuclear track detectors), operating in different ranges of monopole velocity. In several years of data taking no candidates were found; the present flux upper limits are the level of half the Parker Bound for β > 10−4; for 10−4 < β < 5 × 10−2 the limit is the best existing. 相似文献

In this paper the limits are presented which were obtained by the search for magnetic monopoles using the MACRO track-etch subdetector as a stand alone detector. We compare the flux upper limit for g = gD monopoles to other limits obtained by different subdetectors of MACRO, till August 1, 1995, when the construction of the apparatus was completed. The global MACRO monopole limit is compared with other limits from different experiments. 相似文献

The ANTARES Collaboration is constructing a neutrino telescope on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The main goal of ANTARES
is to detect high-energy cosmic neutrinos. The detection principle relies on the observation of Čerenkov light emitted by
neutrino-induced muons. It is shown that this type of detector is also able to detect exotic particles such as magnetic monopoles.
Above the Čerenkov limit, monopoles can be detected because of the emission of large amounts of direct Čerenkov light. Monopoles
are also detectable below the Čerenkov limit through the production of δ rays, which in turn emit Čerenkov light. The development of a software trigger for ANTARES designed for monopole detection
is presented. A simulation of the δ-ray-induced and direct Čerenkov light emission by monopoles has been made and used to study the trigger efficiency for the
detection of monopoles. Techniques to suppress background at the trigger level are presented, and plans for the future are
discussed.

We present the final results obtained by the MACRO experiment in the search for GUT magnetic monopoles and nuclearites. Several searches were performed with different subdetectors, i.e. scintillation counters, limited streamer tubes and nuclear track detectors. No magnetic monopole or nuclearite candidates were found. The MACRO upper limit to the local flux of GUT magnetic monopoles is at the level of 1.4×10−16 cm−2 s−1 sr−1. 相似文献

SLIM is a large area experiment (440 m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100 m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles (107–1013 GeV/c2) and nuclearites in the cosmic radiation using stacks of CR-39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors. In four years of operation it will reach a sensitivity to a flux of about 10-15 cm-2 s-1 sr-1. We present the results of the calibration of CR-39 and Makrofol and the analysis of a first sample of the exposed detector. 相似文献

The interaction of a Grand Unification Magnetic Monopole with a nucleon can lead to a barion-number violating process in
which the nucleon decays into a lepton and one or more mesons (catalysis of nucleon decay). In this paper we report an experimental
study of the effects of a catalysis process in the MACRO detector. Using a dedicated analysis we obtain new magnetic monopole
(MM) flux upper limits at the level of for , based on the search for catalysis events in the MACRO data. We also analyze the dependence of the MM flux limit on the catalysis
cross section.

J. Schwinger has suggested that magnetically charged particles could be produced via a magnetically charged intermediate boson process similar to the mechanism sometimes envisioned for double muon production by neutrinos. A search for magnetic monopole production by neutrinos has been made by reexamining the CERN heavy liquid bubble chamber pictures obtained during the neutrino exposures of 1963 and 1967. Five different searches were made for events which contained a free monopole with and without target nucleus excitation, and for bound monopoles which deexcited by photon emission. No events were found. Neutrino monopole production cross-section limits are given. 相似文献

The strange quark matter (SQM) may be the ground state of QCD; nuggets of SQM could be present in cosmic rays (CR). SLIM is a large area experiment, using CR39 and Makrofol track etch detectors, presently deployed at the high altitude CR Laboratory of Chacaltaya, Bolivia. We discuss the expected properties of SQM, from the point of view of its search with SLIM. We present also some preliminary results from SLIM. 相似文献

We extend Dirac's theory of magnetic monopoles to the case of non-Abelian color gauge groups. Exact classical solution is obtained by making use of the gauge-independent method of Yang-Mills field. The case of broken gauge symmetry is also briefly discussed. 相似文献

It is shown that a general, irreducible, SU(n), Sp(n), SO(2n) monopole with maximal symmetry breaking is determined by its spectral data. For SU(n) with minimal symmetry breaking the spectral data is defined and also shown to determine the monopole.Research supported in part by NSF Grant 8120790 相似文献
