Scientific paper

Grand unification theories suggest that massive magnetic monopoles (mass ≡1016GeV) were created in the very early stages of the formation of the Universe. Cabrera (1982) reported the detection of a candidate cosmic magnetic monopole. The authors describe the results of 6 months observation with a large inductive detector. Some putative events have been seen, but none of them seem to have been induced by a monopole. The total exposure (detector area-time product) is now about 230 times that of Cabrera's first experiment, so that it seems increasingly likely that his original candidate event was spurious.
