Large Hadron Collider’s Beam Pipe Edges Closer to Unmasking Magnetic Monopoles

Researchers used a section of the LHC’s beam pipe to hunt for magnetic monopoles, hypothetical particles with a single magnetic pole.

Their investigation, which involved analyzing radiation effects from ultra-high-energy ion collisions, revealed no monopoles but established stringent constraints on their existence, enhancing our understanding of particle physics.
