Abstract:
In 2010 the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was unanimously approved by CERN's Research Board to start data taking in 2015. MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new Physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Its groundbreaking Physics program defines over 30 scenarios that yield potentially revolutionary insights into such foundational questions as: are there extra dimensions or new symmetries; what is the mechanism for the generation of mass; does magnetic charge exist; what is the nature of dark matter; and, how did the big-bang develop. MoEDAL experiment's purpose is to meet such far-reaching challenges at the frontier of the field. MoEDAL experiment is designed to identify new physics in the form of long-lived highly ionizing particles produced in high-energy LHC collisions. We present here the results of search for magnetic monopole production in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions, in centre of mass system. Magnetic charges exceeding half the Dirac charge are excluded in all samples for the production of magnetic monopoles and the search probes mass ranges previously inaccessible to collider experiments for up to five times of Dirac charge.
