TL;DR
The MACRO experiment at Gran Sasso investigated various cosmic and neutrino phenomena, providing insights into neutrino oscillations, cosmic ray composition, and setting limits on magnetic monopoles and other exotic particles.
Contribution
This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the MACRO detector's capabilities and results across multiple physics topics, highlighting new limits and observations in astroparticle physics.
Findings
Evidence for neutrino oscillations from atmospheric neutrino data
Stringent upper limits on GUT magnetic monopoles
Observations related to cosmic ray shadowing by the Moon and Sun
Abstract
In this overview of the MACRO experiment we recall the structure of the detector and discuss several physics topics: atmospheric neutrinos and neutrino oscillations, high energy neutrino astronomy, searches for WIMPs and for low energy stellar gravitational collapse neutrinos, stringent upper limits on GUT magnetic monopoles, high energy downgoing muons, primary cosmic ray composition and shadowing of primary cosmic rays by the Moon and the Sun.
