Contribution
This paper provides an overview of MoEDAL's design, capabilities, and potential to explore physics beyond the Standard Model through highly-ionising particle detection.
Findings
MoEDAL can detect magnetic monopoles and exotic particles beyond current collider experiments.
Its detection methods include nuclear track detectors, trapping volumes, and pixel sensors.
The experiment's physics reach complements existing LHC detectors.
Abstract
The MoEDAL experiment (Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC) is designed to directly search for magnetic monopoles and other highly-ionising stable or metastable particles arising in theoretical scenarios beyond the Standard Model. Its physics goals are accomplished by the deployment of plastic nuclear track detectors combined with trapping volumes for capturing charged highly-ionising particles and TimePix pixel devices for monitoring. This paper is an overview of the MoEDAL physics reach, which is largely complementary to the programs of the large multi-purpose LHC detectors ATLAS and CMS.
