Nuclear and Particle Physics

Latest results from the MoEDAL experiment

by Philippe Mermod (DPNC Université de Genève)

Europe/Stockholm
Description
The MoEDAL experiment at the LHC is specifically designed to search for new physics in the form of long-lived highly-ionising particles, such as magnetic monopoles. Its plastic nuclear-track detectors and aluminium trapping volumes provide two independent passive detection techniques which allow to probe ranges of the parameter space inaccessible to other experiments. The full MoEDAL detector arrays deployed at Interaction Point 8 have been exposed to the highest LHC collision energies in 2015 and 2016. This seminar will be highlighted by a presentation of the first constraints on magnetic monopole production in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using the innovative MoEDAL trapping detector, extending a previous publication obtained with 8 TeV exposure.
