Scientific paper

The results of an underground-scintillation-detector search for anomolous penetrating particles such as the heavy magnetic monopoles predicted by Big Bang cosmology and GUTs are reported. Tne six-layer hodoscope device described by Mashimo et al. (1983) was buried at a depth of 250 m, and a trigger for the velocity range beta between 0.0005 and 1 was employed. No events passing the criteria imposed were observed, establishing an upper limit on the flux (at 90-percent confidence level) of about 6 x 10 to the -13th/sq cm sr sec for magnetic monopoles at beta = 0.0005-1 or for particles with charges 1, 2/3, 1/2, or 1/3 at beta = 0.0006-0.4.
