Analysis of a reported magnetic monopole

Description

It is shown that there are several substantive errors in a recent work describing a cosmic ray event consistent with the hypothesis that it was caused by a magnetic monopole. The previous interpretation admitted of only two alternatives: that the particle was a nucleus with Z greater than or equal to 125, β = greater than or equal to 0.92 or that the particle was a monopole with g = 137e and any velocity sufficient to penetrate the 1.6 gm/cm2 stack. It is shown that the rejection of the first alternative is no longer valid
