Calibration of Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors for Rare Event Searches

M. Kalliokoski, G. Levi, A. Maulik +9

The calibration of the CR39 and Makrofol Nuclear Track Detectors of the MoEDAL experiment at the CERN-LHC was performed by exposing stacks of detector foils to heavy ion beams with…

The next frontiers for magnetic monopole searches

O. Gould, I. Ostrovskiy, A. Upreti

Magnetic monopoles (MMs) are well-motivated hypothetical particles whose discovery would symmetrize Maxwell equations, explain quantization of electric charge, and probe the gauge…

MoEDAL search in the CMS beam pipe for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger effect

B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, S. C. Behera +64

We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb--Pb collisions during Run-1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CM…

First experimental search for production of magnetic monopoles via the Schwinger mechanism

B. Acharya, J. Alexandre, P. Benes +64

Schwinger showed that electrically-charged particles can be produced in a strong electric field by quantum tunnelling through the Coulomb barrier. By electromagnetic duality, if ma…
