abstract = {We present a search for ultrarelativistic magnetic
monopoles with the Pierre Auger observatory. Such particles,
possibly a relic of phase transitions in the early Universe,
would deposit a large amount of energy along their path
through the atmosphere, comparable to that of
ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The air-shower
profile of a magnetic monopole can be effectively
distinguished by the fluorescence detector from that of
standard UHECRs. No candidate was found in the data
collected between 2004 and 2012, with an expected background
of less than 0.1 event from UHECRs. The corresponding
$90\% confidence$ level (C.L.) upper limits on the flux of
ultrarelativistic magnetic monopoles range from
10$^{-19}$(cm$^2$ sr s)$^{−1}$ for a Lorentz factor
γ=10$^9$ to 2.5×10$^{-21}$(cm$^2$ sr s)$^{−1}$ for
γ=10$^{12}$. These results—the first obtained with a
UHECR detector—improve previously published limits by up
to an order of magnitude.},
