Description
The ANTARES detector is an underwater Cherenkov neutrino telescope. Its construction was completed in 2008 and it operated for sixteen years in the Mediterranean Sea. Even though optimised for the search for cosmic neutrinos, this telescope is also sensitive to exotic particles like magnetic monopoles and nuclearites (massive nuggets of strange quark matter). We discuss here the possible detection of magnetic monopoles and non-relativistic down-going nuclearites with the ANTARES telescope and present the results using data collected over the period from 2009 to 2017.
