No events consistent with monopoles were observed, setting an upper limit on the flux of 2×10-14 cm−2 s−1 sr−1 at 90% C.L. for monopole speed 6×10-4<β<5×10-3 and mass greater than 5×108 GeV. Because of NOvA’s small overburden of 3 meters-water equivalent, this constraint covers a previously unexplored low-mass region.
