Status of the Texas A and M GUT monopole search

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5245887
We present here a report on the status of the GUT monopole search being staged by the Texas A and M University group. This experiment is being staged underground at a depth of 1500' in a nearby salt mine and utilizes a large area (approx. 53 m/sup 2/) scintillation counter telescope to detect the passage of a slow moving super heavy, magnetic monopole. A description of our detector and the expected signature for a passing magnetic monopole is presented. 11 references.
