Scientific paper

In order to interpret the observations of Price et al. (1973), magnetic monopole events are considered in terms of processes of electron capture and stripping at high altitudes and for high charges. Nikolaev's (1965) formulas are used to find electron pickup and stripping cross sections in Lexan polycarbonate. Monte Carlo simulations are made for three charge values (70, 78, and 83) at the top of the main Lexan stack. The event observed by Price et al. is interpreted to be a cosmic ray nucleus having a charge of 70-83 and a velocity of 0.6-0.7 c which loses and captures electrons while passing through the stack.
