abstract
We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap containing a volume of 1 km$^{3}$. This analysis searches data taken on the partially completed detector during 2007 when roughly 0.2 km$^{3}$ of ice was instrumented. The lack of candidate events leads to an upper limit on the flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles of $\Phi_{\mathrm{90%C.L.}}\sim 3\e{-18}\fluxunits$ for $\beta\geq0.8$. This is a factor of 4 improvement over the previous best experimental flux limits up to a Lorentz boost $\gamma$ below $10^{7}$. This result is then interpreted for a wide range of mass and kinetic energy values.

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.

Searching for Hidden Sector Particles at Neutrino Telescopes
hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10
IceCube could detect double-bang events from hidden sector particles produced via the neutrino or hypercharge portal, extending sensitivity to masses of about 1-20 GeV.
