Phys. Rev. Lett. 48, 1378–1381 (1982)First Results from a Superconductive Detector for Moving Magnetic MonopolesReceived 5 April 1982; published in the issue dated 17 May 1982 A velocity- and mass-independent search for moving magnetic monopoles is being performed by continuously monitoring the current in a 20-cm2-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 6.1×10-10 cm-2 sec-1 sr-1 for magnetically charged particles moving through the earth's surface. © 1982 The American Physical Society URL:
