Description

A remarkable aspect of mineral-detector search for dark matter is its long exposure.
It can overcome so-called flux limit of ordinary dark matter search.
This allows us to probe not only a dominant component of dark matter, but also sub-dominant or even rare objects in the Universe, including topological defects.
In this talk, we examine a possibility of detecting cosmological relic of magnetic monopoles in mineral detectors, while taking into account other constraints.
We also extend our discussion to minicharged monopole, arising from a dark sector.

Do you plan to give the talk in person? Yes
