Scientific paper

The observed absence of monopole tracks in large, ancient mica crystals enables an upper limit of less than approximately 10 to the -18th/sq cm per sr per s to be set on the flux of supermassive monopoles with velocity between 0.0004c, and 0.0015c that are stably attached to nuclei. This limit takes into account the fraction of monopoles not initially bound to protons, the fraction that attach with nuclei on their way to the mica, and the measured storage times for tracks with thermal stability similar to that of monopole tracks.
