Magnetic monopoles were first considered in detail by DIRAC in a 1931 paper, where he proved a charge‐quantization theorem. The experimental searches which followed proved fruitless. Recently there has been a rapid increase in theoretical and experimental work in this field. A highly controversial detection claim was made by PRICE, SHIRK, OSBORNE and PINSKY in 1975. Report has also come of a possible monopole detection at Stanford university in February, 1982.
