Scientific paper

A technique for detecting magnetic monopoles using colloidally suspended spherical granules of type-I superconductor is proposed. The physical principle of detection is explained; the design of a practical detector using the disappearance of the Meissner effect in 1-cm-thick layers of 10-20-percent-vol-diluted Sn in paraffin as the electronic readout is described; and experiments are proposed to evaluate the feasibility of the method and estimate the granule flipping time, the overall time resolution, and the background sensitivity in detectors employing granules of various diameters. Physical limitations on the practical design of large-area detectors based on this principle are considered.
