Abstract:

The principal aim of the MoEDAL (Monopole and Exotics Detector at the LHC) project is to directly search for the Magnetic Monopole and other highly ionizing Stable (or pseudo-stable) Massive Particles (SMPs) at the LHC. The MoEDAL detector is comprised of an array of plastic Nuclear Track Detectors deployed in the LHCb-VELO cavern at point 8, on the LHC ring. This Technical Design Report details the motivation and physics reach of the experiment, the design of the MoEDAL detector and the operating parameters of the experiment.
