Abstract
A systematic analysis of the energy losses of magnetic monopoles of differe nt magnetic charges and of dyons in three types of detectors are investigat ed for a large range of beta = v/c (beta > 10(-5)). More specifically we ha ve computed the light yield in liquid scintillators, the ionization in stre amer tubes and the Restricted Energy Loss in the CR39 nuclear track detecto rs. Also the total energy losses have been analyzed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scie nce B.V.
