Search for massive rare particles with the SLIM experiment

Abstract

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 m2 exposed for 4.07 y are here reported. The detector is sensitive to Intermediate Mass Magnetic Monopoles, 105 < MM < 1012 GeV, and to SQM nuggets and Q-balls, which are possible Dark Matter candidates.
