Search for magnetic monopoles and nuclearites with the ANTARES experiment

We report on the search for magnetic monopoles and nuclearites with the ANTARES experiment, using data collected in 2007 and 2008. Both magnetic monopoles and nuclearites are expected to produce a large signal inside the detector. The analysis of data yielded no exotic candidates, and upper limits were set on the flux of fast upgoing magnetic monopoles and of slow downgoing nuclearites.
