Description

Magnetic monopoles are predicted to exist in many extensions and unifications of the Standard Model of particle physics. A magnetic monopole passing through the IceCube detector array would be readily detected via its characteristic light output. In this talk I will report on the progress of the search for magnetic monopoles ongoing in the Uppsala University IceCube group.
