title = "The performance of MACRO liquid scintillator in the search for magnetic monopoles with 10^{-3} < beta < 1",
abstract = "MACRO is designed to make a multiply redundant search for GUT magnetic monopoles over a wide velocity range. The 100 MHz pulse height recorder and synchronous encoder (PHRASE) and the energy reconstruction processor (ERP) are two components of that search, both based on the MACRO liquid scintillator. They are sensitive to monopoles with or without captured nuclei in the range β ∼ 10-3 to β ∼ 1. Here, the performance of these systems is discussed, including also analysis methods and background evaluations.",
