Search for Highly Ionizing Particles at the Fermilab Proton-Antiproton Collider

Abstract

In a search for highly ionizing particles produced in $p\overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1800$ GeV, polycarbonate and CR-39 plastic track detectors were exposed to an integrated luminosity of \ensuremath{\sim}5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{32}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$, and UG-5 glass detectors were exposed inside the vacuum system to look for short-range particles. No highly ionizing particles other than hadronically produced spallation recoils were detected.
