Magnetic monopole search, past and present
DOI: 10.1063/PT.3.3572
In the article by Arttu Rajantie on the search for magnetic monopoles, I noticed there was no mention of other monopole searches that had negative results. The most significant of those is the work by Luis Alvarez and his co-authors. 1 , 2 , 3 The references to Rajantie’s figure 4, the plot of monopole flux versus monopole mass, cite experiments by Alvarez and his colleagues. A description of the implications of their work would have been helpful.
