The SLIM experiment was an array of 427 m2 of nuclear track detectors, exposed at a high altitude laboratory (Chacaltaya, Bolivia, 5230 m a.s.l.), for ~4.22 years. SLIM was sensitive to downgoing intermediate mass magnetic monopoles with masses in the range 105 to 1012 GeV. The analysis of the full detector gives a flux upper limit of 1.3x10-15 1/(cm2*s*sr) (90% C.L.) for downgoing fast intermediate magnetic monopoles.
