A search for massive magnetic monopoles at the Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope (BUST)

The experiment has been performed for both fast (β⩾0.4) and slow (2×10−4⩽β⩽10−1) monopoles. In the velocity range β⩾0.4, we made use of "the cascade trigger" (large energy deposition in the facility), the time-of-flight method was used for 10−4⩽β⩽10−1 range. No candidate for the monopole was obtained during 35400 hours and 127630 hours of live time respectively.
