The SLIM experiment was a large array of nuclear track detectors located at the Chacaltaya high altitude Laboratory (5230 m a.s.l.). The detector was in particular sensitive to Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles, with masses 10^5 < M <10^{12} GeV. From the analysis of the full detector exposed for more than 4 years a flux upper limit of 1.3 x 10^{-15} cm^{-2} s^{-1} sr^{-1} for downgoing fast Intermediate Mass Monopoles was established at the 90% C.L.

  1. Monopole Catalyzed Baryogenesis with a $\theta$ angle

    hep-ph 2024-12 reject novelty 7.0 of 10

    Claims that Callan-Rubakov monopole catalysis biased by a tiny theta-term can generate the observed baryon asymmetry at T~100 GeV with monopole densities below current bounds.

  2. Timing-Based Search for Magnetic Monopoles with the NOvA Detector on the Surface

    hep-ex 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NOvA's 7.5-year search found zero magnetic monopole candidates and sets a 90% confidence upper limit of 8e-16 cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1 for monopole speeds near 0.001c and masses above 1e9 GeV.

  3. Cosmology-Independent Constraints on Irreducible Magnetic Monopole Background

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cosmic-ray collisions with interstellar gas create monopoles that would drain galactic magnetic fields, yielding new cosmology-independent Parker-like bounds on light monopoles.

  4. Convolution based hybrid image processing technique for microscopic images of etch-pits in Nuclear Track Detectors

    physics.ins-det 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using Gaussian deconvolution followed by circular-mask convolution, the authors automatically count etch-pits in CR-39 and PET nuclear track detectors with reported errors of 0.33% and 3.3% against manual counts.
