Abstract
Magnetic monopoles have been a subject of interest since Dirac established the relation between the existence of monopoles and charge quantization. The Dirac quantization condition bestows the monopole with a huge magnetic charge. We study the scattering of charged ions by monopoles and use backscattering techniques to devise a method to detect monopoles bound in matter.
