The treatment and rejection of two "strange" candidate events in the SLIM experiment
S. Balestra, S. Cecchini, M. Cozzi +24
During the analysis of the CR39 Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) of the SLIM experiment exposed at the high altitude lab of Chacaltaya (Bolivia) we observed a sequence of puzzling et…
Fragmentation cross sections of Fe^{26+}, Si^{14+} and C^{6+} ions of 0.3-10 A GeV on polyethylene, CR39 and aluminum targets
S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi, G. Giacomelli +12
We present new measurements of the total and partial fragmentation cross sections in the energy range 0.3-10 A GeV of 56Fe, 28Si and 12C beams on polyethylene, CR39 and aluminum ta…
Nuclear Track Detectors for Environmental Studies and Radiation Monitoring
S. Manzoor, S. Balestra, M. Cozzi +10
Several improvements were made for Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) used for environmental studies and for particle searches. A new method was used to determine the bulk etch rate of…
Search for massive rare particles with the SLIM experiment
S. Balestra, S. Cecchini, F. Fabbri +18
The search for magnetic monopoles in the cosmic radiation remains one of the main aims of non-accelerator particle astrophysics. Experiments at high altitude allow lower mass thres…
Search for Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles and Nuclearites with the SLIM experiment
S. Cecchini, T. Chiarusi, D. Di Ferdinando +19
SLIM is a large area experiment (440 m2) installed at the Chacaltaya cosmic ray laboratory since 2001, and about 100 m2 at Koksil, Himalaya, since 2003. It is devoted to the search…
