MoEDAL’s main physics goal is to look for Magnetic Monopoles produced in pp interactions at LHC energies, but not only…

MoEDAL is the 7th LHC experiment, approved in May 2010.

3. The monopole trapping detectors will be deployed in the LHCb cavern. They will consists in closely packed Al bars. The binding energy of monopoles in nuclei with finite magnetic dipole moments ~ few 100 keV.
After exposure some of them will be transferred to the SQUID magnetometer at ETH Zurich, able to detect magnetic fields corresponding to gD ≥ 0.1.
Other trapping detectors will be moved to SNOLAB (2km underground) in order to measure possible Massive Supersymetric Particle decays.

Monopole searches have been performed at many particle accelerators….
14 experiments used plastic NTDs
3 experiments used emulsions
3 experiments used induction
11 experiments used counters

Some recent results from recent (past 5 years) experiments

MoEDAL sensitivity for monopoles and highly ionizing exotic massive particles (4 years of exposure, ~ 20 fb-1 integrated L at14 TeV)
MoEDAL is background free (in the Standard Model), so a single event could significate a discovery. This is not the case of the other LHC experiments.
