Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of current experimental searches for magnetic monopoles and related exotic particles across different theoretical predictions.
Findings
No monopoles detected so far
Experimental limits set on monopole fluxes
Summary of search techniques and results
Abstract
We discuss the experimental situation of direct searches at accelerators for Dirac magnetic monopoles, and in the penetrating cosmic radiation for the superheavy magnetic monopoles predicted by GUT theories. We also discuss the searches for intermediate mass monopoles (wich are predicted by theories in extra dimensions), and for nuclearites and Q-balls.
