Abstract
In a search for magnetic monopoles, a steel beam dump has been exposed to 3.4 × protons of 300 GeV energy at the National Accelerator Laboratory. The search apparatus employed an 80-kG solenoid 50 cm long capable of extracting a monopole and accelerating it through a series of thin scintillation counters. A monopole would have been identified by its energy loss and range in the scintillators. No monopoles with magnetic charges in the interval from to 24 times the Dirac magnetic charge were found. The upper limit at a 95% confidence level for the cross section per nucleon on iron is 6 × .
