摘要
The final results of the MACRO experiment on the search for CUT supermassive magnetic monopoles in the penetrating cosmic radiation are presented and discussed. The 90% CL upper limits are at the level of 1.5 - 2 x 10(-16) cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) for 0.0004 < beta < 1. Similar limits were obtained for nuclearites. Limits for the MM catalysis of proton decay are at 3 - 4 10(-16) cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-2) for 10(-4) < beta < 6 (.) 10(3).
