Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope: The IceCube Collaboration

We present the search for Cherenkov signatures from relativistic magnetic monopoles in data taken with the AMANDA-II detector, a neutrino telescope deployed in the Antarctic ice cap at the Geographic South Pole. The non-observation of a monopole signal in data collected during the year 2000 improves...
