Evidence at the 10-18 probability level against the production of magnetic monopoles in proton interactions at 300 GeV/c
- 1. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720
Description
An electromagnetic search for magnetic monopoles that requires very few assumptions about their properties has been performed in material exposed to protons accelerated at Fermilab, to electrons st SLAC, and to pp interactions at the CERN ISR. The most significant irradiation (Fermilab, 300 GeV/c) produced 2.5times1018 primary proton--aluminum interactions. No monopoles were found. If monopoles exist with masses less than 12 GeV, the probability of pair production in a proton--nucleon collision is of the order of 10-18 or less with 95% confidence
