Abstract: (APS)
Using magnetometer observations aboard Explorer 35 orbiting the moon, an upper limit for the net flux of the moon is given as 1.1×1011 Mx. Assuming that monopoles are trapped in the moon and are predominantly of one sign, this equates to an upper limit of roughly 6×10−33 net monopoles per nucleon.
