Abstract
The MoEDAL experiment designed to search for magnetic monopoles and other highly ionizing particles at the LHC. The MoEDAL experiment employs nuclear track etch detectors deployed in the VELO vertex region of the LHCb experiment. A description of this experiment is given in addition to a brief discussion of the physics program and data taking plans.
