The SLIM experiment is a large array of nuclear track detectors located at the Chacaltaya High Altitude Laboratory (5260 m a.s.l.). The preliminary results from the analysis of ~383 m^2 exposed for 4.07 y are here reported. The detector is sensitive to Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles, 10^5 < M_M < 10^12 GeV, and to SQM nuggets and Q-balls, which are possible Dark Matter candidates.

  1. Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider

    Magnetic monopoles are theoretically well-motivated but remain unobserved after extensive searches in cosmic rays and at particle colliders such as the LHC.
