Description

A three-loop superconductive monopole detector has been continuously operated for over 150 days. Its sensing area is 476 cm2 (71 cm2 loop area and 405 cm2 near-miss area) for double coincidence events. The data, which contain no candidate events, set an upper limit of 3.7 x 10-11 cm-2 sec-1 sr-1 (90% C.L.) for monopoles of any mass and at any velocity passing through the Earth's surface
