Caption

This is a schematic diagram of the neutron scattering experiment: Neutrons are fired towards the sample, and when a magnetic field is applied the Dirac strings align against the field with magnetic monopoles at their ends. The neutrons scatter from the strings providing data which show us the strings properties.
