Descripción
We report the results of a direct search for Dirac magnetic monopoles using the CDF Run II detector at Fermilab. Monopoles within this model are produced via a mechanism similar to Drell-Yan pair production, are highly ionizing, and experience magnetic forces
parallel to the magnetic field. We employ a dedicated trigger, which requires large light pulses in the scintillators of the time-of-flight system, and which remains highly efficient
to monopoles while consuming a negligible fraction of the available simulation is used, and a specialized offline event reconstruction examines the central drift chamber for tracks consistent with highly ionizing particles that do not curve in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. Limits are presented for magnetic monopoles with masses between 100 and 800 GeV.
