Scientific paper

A large area (400 m2 ) experiment -SLIMto search for intermediate mass magnetic monop oles and nuclearites has been installed at the Chacaltaya high altitude lab oratory since 2001. It is based on stacks of CR39 and Makrofol nuclear track detectors. In more that 4 years of operation it will be able to reach a sensitivity at the level of the Parker bound for monop ole masses MM > 105 GeV/c2 over a wide velocity range. Preliminary results regarding the study of the local background (radon concentration, cosmic ray neutrons) are reported. An analysis of a first sample of about 50 m2 of the exposed detector is also presented.
