ATLAS finds no evidence of magnetic monopoles or long-lived particles

At the ICHEP conference in Prague, the ATLAS collaboration presented findings from LHC Run 3, analyzing heavy-ion collisions at 5.36 TeV. They searched for magnetic monopoles and long-lived particles but found no evidence, setting the best limits on monopole production rates below 120 GeV. The results also established strict limits on long-lived supersymmetric partners, enhancing methodologies for future searches in particle physics.
