Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with eight years of IceCube data
- Abstract:
- We present an all-sky 90% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic flux of relativistic magnetic monopoles using 2886 days of IceCube data. The analysis was optimized for monopole speeds between 0.750 c and 0.995 c , without any explicit restriction on the monopole mass. We constrain the flux of relativistic cosmic magnetic monopoles to a level below 2.0 × 10 − 19 cm − 2 s − 1 sr − 1 over the majority of the targeted speed range. This result constitutes the most strict upper limit to date for magnetic monopoles with β ≳ 0.8 and up to β ∼ 0.995 and fills the gap between existing limits on the cosmic flux of nonrelativistic and ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles.
