First Results from a Superconductive Detector for Moving Magnetic Monopoles

Cabrera, Blas·1982·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A velocity- and mass-independent search for moving magnetic monopoles is being performed by continuously monitoring the current in a 20-${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$-area superconducting loop. A single candidate event, consistent with one Dirac unit of magnetic charge, has been detected during five runs totaling 151 days. These data set an upper limit of 6.1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}10}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ ${\mathrm{sr}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ for magnetically charged particles moving through the earth's surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
