Magnetic monopole searches in the cosmic radiation

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

There has been a big effort in the past twenty years with at least a couple of generations of experiments which searched for supermassive GUT magnetic monopoles in the cosmic radiation. Here a short review of these searches is given, together with a brief description of the theoretical framework and of the detection techniques.
