我们报告了在NOvA实验的远探测器，一个14 kt分段液体闪烁体探测器，主要用于观察GeV级电子中微子的95天曝光的宇宙射线通量的磁闪烁分量的搜索。没有观察到与单极子一致的事件，在90% C. L时，通量的上限为2 × 10−14 cm−2 s−1 sr−1。对于速度为6 × 10−4 < β < 5 × 10−3，质量大于5 × 108 GeV的情况，由于NOvA的3米水当量的小覆盖层，这个限制涵盖了以前未探索的低质量区域。
We report a search for a magnetic monopole component of the cosmic-ray flux in a 95-day exposure of the NOvA experiment’s Far Detector, a 14 kt segmented liquid scintillator detector designed primarily to observe GeV-scale electron neutrinos. No events consistent with monopoles were observed, setting an upper limit on the flux of 2 × 10−14 cm−2 s−1 sr−1 at 90% C.L. for monopole speed 6 × 10−4 < β < 5 × 10−3 and mass greater than 5 × 108 GeV. Because of NOvA’s small overburden of 3 meters-water equivalent, this constraint covers a previously unexplored low-mass region.
