In 2010 the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started data taking in June 2015. MoEDAL is a pioneering experiment designed to search for highly ionizing avatars of new physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Its groundbreaking physics program defines over 34 scenarios that yield potentially revolutionary insights into such foundational questions as: are there extra dimensions or new symmetries; what is the mechanism for the generation of mass; does magnetic charge exist; what is the nature of dark matter; and, how did the big-bang develop. MoEDAL's purpose is to meet these challenges at the frontier of the field. The MoEDAL detector deployed at Point 8 (IP8) on the LHC ring late in 2014 utilizes an innovative and cost-effective combination of passive and active detection techniques. The MoEDAL experiment is led by the University of Alberta and now consists of 65 physicists from 25 institutes in 13 countries. MoEDAL physics program is designed to expand the physics horizons of the LHC in a complementary way.

2010年，大型强子对撞机（LHC）的MOEDAL实验于2015年6月开始获取数据。Moedal是一个开创性的实验，旨在寻找新物理学的高度电离化身，例如磁单或大量（伪）稳定带电的颗粒。其开创性的物理计划定义了34个场景，这些方案可能会产生革命性的见解，以诸如：是否有额外的维度或新对称性；质量产生的机制是什么？是否存在磁性电荷；暗物质的本质是什么？而且，大爆炸是如何发展的。 Moedal的目的是在该领域的边界应对这些挑战。 2014年下半年在LHC环上部署的MOEDAL探测器采用了被动和主动检测技术的创新且具有成本效益的组合。 Moedal实验由艾伯塔大学（University of Alberta）领导，现在由来自13个国家的25个机构的65名物理学家组成。 Moedal物理计划旨在以互补的方式扩展LHC的物理视野。
