Magnetic Monopole Transitions in Electron Scattering

The electroexcitation cross section for the second-order magnetic monopole transition $0^{+}\to 0^{-}$ has been calculated in ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$. It is assumed that the spectrum of intermediate excited states is complete and that energy loss may be neglected. If these approximations are valid, it should be possible to observe this transition.
