The sPHENIX detector at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is currently under construction and on schedule for first data in summer 2023. Built around the excellent BaBar superconducting solenoid, the central detector consists of a silicon pixel vertexer adapted from the ALICE ITS design, a silicon strip detector with single event timing resolution, a compact TPC, novel EM...
MoEDAL is an experiment at the LHC that is dedicated to searches for magnetic monopoles (MM) and other exotic particles. In Run 2, MoEDAL established best current laboratory constraints for point-like MM with magnetic charges ranging from 2 to 5 Dirac charges, surpassing the results of ATLAS in this range. MoEDAL also performed the first search for Dyons, particles with both electric and...
