Scientific paper

The fundamental principles, apparatus, procedures, and results of ongoing terrestrial searches for the superheavy magnetic monopoles (MMs) predicted by GUTs are reviewed. Approaches examined include methods based on the MM magnetic charge (Faraday induction experiments and the Parker bound from Galactic magnetic fields), MM ionization properties (MM velocity estimates; detection in scintillation and gas detectors), and the ability of MMs to catalyze nucleon decay (proton-decay experiments and cosmic-ray-shower hadronic cross section measurements). Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and tables of numerical data are provided, and plans for future MM detectors are indicated.
