The Search for Magnetic Monopoles

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-12-31 v1

Abstract

After a short historical introduction and description of the properties of the magnetic monopole we briefly discuss the search for monopoles produced at accelerators and from the cosmos. We present in a little more detail the latest LHC experiment, MoEDAL, specifically designed to continue the search for the magnetic monopole and other highly ionizing messengers of new physics at the TeV scale. Lastly we mention a proposal to continue the search for monopoles with flux below the Parker Bound up to the GUT scale at a high altitude laboratory.
