Scientific paper

Preliminary results of a search for magnetic monopoles, made with the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) of the Mont Blanc Laboratory at the depth of 5200 hg/sq cm underground, are reported. The detection method and the sensitivity of the experiment to low-energy losses, as expected theoretically for monopoles with low velocity are discussed. Since no monopole has been detected an upper limit of their flux at earth for 0 events at the 90 percent confidence level, 6.6 x 10 to the -14th poles/sq cm s sr has been obtained after about 5 months of running time, given the large acceptance (S Omega = 235 sq m sr) of the LSD experiment.
