Abstract
An experiment to search for intermediate mass magnetic monopoles (105-1012 GeV/c2) and for strangelets or nuclearites in the cosmic radiation is exposed at Chacaltaya Laboratory (5230 m a.s.l.) and at Koksil, Himalaya, (4275 m a.s.l.). With the large area of nuclear track detectors (440 m2 at Chacaltaya and 100 m2 at Koksil) and the long time exposure will reach a sensitivity to the flux of SQM about 10-15 cm-2 s-1 sr-1 sr. The results of the analysis, in terms of search for SQM, of large array of detectors at Chacaltaya and exposed for more than 3.5 y are here reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
