Abstract
An ion source and a charge spectrometer system have been used to search in solid, stable matter for particles with nonintegral charge. Samples of niobium, tungsten, selenium, and meteorites were searched for fractionally charged particles with effective nuclear charge Z=N+(1/3e (N=0,1,...), and Z=N+(2/3e (N=0,1). No positive signal was observed and concentration limits are reported.
