Description
A direct search for relic monpoles has been made with a SQUID-based magnetometer using volcanic rock samples from the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Relic monopoles would have drifted due to the Earth's internal magnetic field. Enhanced monopole concentrations would therefore occur in the geomagnetic poles, thereby suppressing the sensitivity of previous matter searches. This search was sensitive to monopoles carrying the Dirac charge and with masses up to 10^13 GeV.
