This study presents a search for magnetic monopoles using the full ANTARES dataset collected over 14 years (2008–2022). The interaction of monopoles with matter was modeled according to the Kazama, Yang and Goldhaber cross-section, and dedicated reconstruction strategies were applied to probe velocities both above and below the Cherenkov threshold. No signal consistent with monopoles was found. We derive 90% C.L. upper limits on the flux of relativistic monopoles at the level of 10−18 cm−2 s−1 sr−1, improving upon previous ANTARES results and confirming those obtained by IceCube and other neutrino telescopes. These results constitute the final contribution of ANTARES to the search for magnetic monopoles.

This study presents a search for magnetic monopoles using the full ANTARES dataset collected over 14 years (2008–2022). The interaction of monopoles with matter was modeled according to the Kazama, Yang and Goldhaber cross-section, and dedicated reconstruction strategies were applied to probe velocities both above and below the Cherenkov threshold. No signal consistent with monopoles was found. We derive 90% C.L. upper limits on the flux of relativistic monopoles at the level of 10−18 cm−2 s−1 sr−1, improving upon previous ANTARES results and confirming those obtained by IceCube and other neutrino telescopes.
