Recent Results and Future Plans of the MoEDAL Experiment

MoEDAL is an LHC experiment designed to search for anomalously ionizing messengers ofnew physics such as magnetic monopoles or massive (pseudo-)stable charged particles. Theseparticles are predicted to exist in many models beyond the Standard Model. MoEDAL’s physicsprogram yields insights into such foundational questions as: are there extra dimensions or newsymmetries; what is the mechanism for the generation of mass; does magnetic charge exist; andwhat is the nature of dark matter. We will present the results from the MoEDAL detector onmagnetic monopole and highly ionizing electrically charged particle production. In conclusion,progress on the installation of MoEDAL’s MAPP (MoEDAL Apparatus for Penetrating Particles)sub-detector prototype will be briefly discussed.
