He is the son of Spanish physicist Nicolás Cabrera and the grandson of Blas Cabrera Felipe, also a Spanish physicist.
On the night of February 14, 1982, his detector recorded an event which had the perfect signature hypothesized for a magnetic monopole. After he published his discovery, a number of similar detectors were built by various research groups, and Cabrera"s laboratory itself received a large grant to build an improved detector. However, no similar event has been recorded since, and his research group has since dropped the search.
He is now a leader of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment.
