GUT-Monopole Searches by Means of Deep Underwater Baikal Neutrino Telescope

The procedure for Grand Unified Theory (GUT) monopole searches by means of the NT200 Baikal neutrino detector is described. Event-selection and background-suppression algorithms are discussed in detail. Limits on the flux of slow monopoles are presented and are compared with theoretical predictions...

Summary:The procedure for Grand Unified Theory (GUT) monopole searches by means of the NT200 Baikal neutrino detector is described. Event-selection and background-suppression algorithms are discussed in detail. Limits on the flux of slow monopoles are presented and are compared with theoretical predictions and with the results of other experiments.
