Blas Cabrera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blas Cabrera is a physicist at Stanford University who was searching for magnetic monopoles; on the night of February 14, 1982, the detector recorded an event which had the perfect signature hypothesized for a magnetic monopole. After he published his discovery (B. Cabrera, Phys. Rev. Lett. 48, 1378–1381; 1982), a number of similar detectors were built by various research groups, and Cabrera's laboratory itself received a large grant to build an improved detector. However, no similar event has been recorded since, and his research group has since dropped the search.
