A monopole flux limit from a large area induction detector
Description
The design and performance during seven months of data taking of a superconducting induction detector with two 60-cm-diameter superconducting loops is presented. No candidate events were observed and an upper limit on the flux of cosmic ray magnetic monopoles F/sub m/≤ 6.2 x 10/sup -12/cm/sup -2/ sr/sup -1/ sec/sup -1/ (90% C.L.) is set. The detector demonstrates the possibility of operating large induction detectors in ambient magnetic fields greater than 1 mgauss
