Are High Energy Cosmic Rays Magnetic Monopoles?
arXiv:astro-ph/9709148 · doi:10.1016/S0927-6505(98)00045-0
Abstract
We argue that magnetic monopoles can not be associated to the highest energy cosmic rays as recently suggested. Both the observed spectrum and the arrival direction disagree with observation.
