Contribution

It provides updated experimental bounds on magnetic monopoles, including new flux limits from the SLIM experiment at high altitude.

Findings

Established the lowest flux upper limit for monopoles in the specified mass range.

Presented recent accelerator analysis results for classical Dirac monopoles.

Summarized the status of monopole searches in cosmic radiation.

Abstract

Here the status of the searches for ``classical Dirac'' Magnetic Monopoles (MMs) at accelerators and for GUT MMs in the cosmic radiation is discussed. We present recent analysis for ``classical Dirac'' monopoles at accelerators and the lowest flux upper limit for Magnetic Monopoles in the mass range 10$^{5}$ - 10$^{12}$ GeV obtained with the SLIM experiment at the Chacaltaya High Altitude Laboratory (5290 m a.s.l.).
