Abstract

Existing magnetic-monopole searches are reevaluated in terms of monopole production by cosmic-ray neutrinos. The upper limit for the cross section for monopole production inside the best ocean-bed sample is $σ_{D} \leq 1.0 \times 10^{- 39} E_{T^{2}}$ ${cm}^{2}$ , where $E_{T}$ is the threshold energy to produce a pair of monopoles expressed in BeV. An even lower limit of $σ_{C} \leq 3.0 \times 10^{- 45} E_{T^{2}}$ ${cm}^{2}$ is established if the monopoles are collected on the sample from surrounding ocean water.
