Abstract

A simple calculation of the stopping power of a metal is given for the case of magnetic monopoles whose velocity $v$ is small compared with the Fermi velocity. The principal result is that the dominant contribution to the stopping power is the formation of low-energy electron-hole pairs. The stopping power is found to be proportional to $v$ and for Al with $v = 10^{- 3} c$ , $- \frac{dE}{dx} = 0.3$ GeV/cm.
