Search For Heavy Pointlike Dirac Monopoles

Abstract

We have searched for central production of a pair of photons with high transverse energies in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV using $70p{b}^{-1}$ of data collected with the DØdetector at the Fermilab Tevatron in 1994--1996. If they exist, virtual heavy pointlike Dirac monopoles could rescatter pairs of nearly real photons into this final state via a box diagram. We observe no excess of events above background, and set lower 95% C.L. limits of $610,870,or1580GeV/c^2$ on the mass of a spin 0, 1/2, or 1 Dirac monopole.
