Search for Magnetic Monopole Pair Production in Ultraperipheral (Formula presented) Collisions at (Formula presented) with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC

This Letter presents a search for highly ionizing magnetic monopoles in 262 mu b(-1) of ultraperipheral Pb + Pb collision data at root s(NN) = 5.36 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. A new methodology that exploits the properties of clusters
