TY  - JOUR
AB - We update our previous search for trapped magnetic monopoles in LHC Run 2using nearly six times more integrated luminosity and including additionalmodels for the interpretation of the data. The MoEDAL forward trappingdetector, comprising 222~kg of aluminium samples, was exposed to 2.11~fb$^{-1}$of 13 TeV proton-proton collisions near the LHCb interaction point and analysedby searching for induced persistent currents after passage through asuperconducting magnetometer. Magnetic charges equal to the Dirac charge orabove are excluded in all samples. The results are interpreted in Drell-Yanproduction models for monopoles with spins 0, 1/2 and 1: in addition tostandard point-like couplings, we also consider couplings withmomentum-dependent form factors. The search provides the best currentlaboratory constraints for monopoles with magnetic charges ranging from two tofive times the Dirac charge.
