Magnetic Monopole Searches
G. Giacomelli, L. Patrizii (INFN, Dept of Physics, Bologna)
TL;DR
This paper reviews the current experimental efforts to detect magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, and Q-balls across accelerators, cosmic radiation, and intermediate mass ranges, summarizing the status and results of these searches.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of experimental searches for magnetic monopoles, including various mass ranges and detection methods, updating the status of these efforts.
Findings
No magnetic monopoles have been conclusively detected yet.
Current experiments set upper limits on monopole fluxes across different energy ranges.
The search for nuclearites and Q-balls remains ongoing with no confirmed discoveries.
Abstract
In these lecture notes we discuss the status of the searches for classical Dirac Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) at accelerators, for GUT superheavy MMs in the penetrating cosmic radiation and for Intermediate Mass MMs. Also the searches for nuclearites and Q-balls are considered.
