Search for monopoles using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)

The discovery of magnetic monopoles would be of fundamental significance in the research of modern physics. In this paper, we present a short review of the history of magnetic monopole research. The theoretical work and experimental technique in the search for magnetic monopoles using SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) are investigated. We also discuss the properties of magnetic monopole and propose a possible experimental test based upon the Faraday induction method.
