This work presents a new search for magnetic monopoles using data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope over a period of 10 years. It utilizes a run-by-run simulation strategy and incorporates a new simulation model for the interaction between magnetic monopoles and matter. No signal compatible with the passage of relativistic magnetic monopoles is observed.
This work presents a new search for magnetic monopoles using data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope over a period of 10 years (January 2008 to December 2017). Compared to previous ANTARES searches, this analysis uses a run-by-run simulation strategy, with a larger exposure as well as a new simulation of magnetic monopoles taking into account the Kasama, Yang and Goldhaber model for their interaction cross-section with matter. No signal compatible with the passage of relativistic magnetic monopoles is observed, and upper limits on the flux of magnetic monopoles with beta = v/c >= 0.55, are presented. For ultra-relativistic magnetic monopoles the flux limit is similar to 7 x 10(-18) cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1). (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
