2018
Weak magnetic monopoles with a continuum of charges less than the minimum implied by Dirac’s quantization condition may be possible in non-associative quantum mechanics. If a weakly magnetically charged proton in a hydrogen atom perturbs the standard energy spectrum only slightly, magnetic charges could have escaped detection. Testing this hypothesis requires entirely new methods to compute energy spectra in non-associative quantum mechanics. Such methods are presented here, and evaluated for upper bounds on the magnetic charge of elementary particles.

Formulations of magnetic monopoles in a Hilbert-space formulation of quantum mechanics require Dirac's quantization condition of magnetic charge, which implies a large value that can easily be ruled out for elementary particles by standard atomic spectroscopy. However, an algebraic formulation of non-associative quantum mechanics is mathematically consistent with fractional magnetic charges of small values. Here, spectral properties in non-associative quantum mechanics are derived, applied to the ground state of hydrogen with a magnetically charged nucleus. The resulting energy leads to new strong upper bounds for the magnetic charge of various elementary particles that can appear as the nucleus of hydrogen-like atoms, such as the muon or the antiproton.

The Dirac Quantization Condition (DQC) for magnetic charges and its elegant Dirac-Wu-Yang (DWY) derivation based on U(1)em gauge theory predicts an electric / magnetic duality which to the best of our knowledge simply has never been observed in nature, as well as a charge quantization which is observed. The fact that this predicted duality has never been observed to our knowledge means as a matter of elementary logic that this DWY derivation (and the DQC itself) is either elegant but physically wrong, or elegant and correct but physically incomplete. This paper pinpoints a flawed assumption deeply-hidden in the DWY derivation that the south gauge field patch of the posited monopole charge differs from the north patch merely by an unobservable gauge-transformation. By correcting this assumption by defining an observable difference between the north and south patches, the DQC is made fully compatible with the non-observation of magnetic charges and its correct prediction of electric c...
Ions, Protons, and Photons as Signatures of Monopoles
Universe, 2018
Magnetic monopoles have been a subject of interest since Dirac established the relationship between the existence of monopoles and charge quantization. The Dirac quantization condition bestows the monopole with a huge magnetic charge. The aim of this study was to determine whether this huge magnetic charge allows monopoles to be detected by the scattering of charged ions and protons on matter where they might be bound. We also analyze if this charge favors monopolium (monopole–antimonopole) annihilation into many photons over two photon decays.

Building on his own previous research, Amherst College professor David S. Hall '91 and a team of international collaborators have experimentally identified a pointlike monopole in a quantum field for the first time. The discovery, announced this week, gives scientists further insight into the elusive monopole magnet, an elementary particle that researchers believe exists but have not yet seen in nature. [11] For the first time, physicists have achieved interference between two separate atoms: when sent towards the opposite sides of a semi-transparent mirror, the two atoms always emerge together. This type of experiment, which was carried out with photons around thirty years ago, had so far been impossible to perform with matter, due to the extreme difficulty of creating and manipulating pairs of indistinguishable atoms. [10] The accelerating electrons explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the Wave-Particle Duality and the electron's spin also, building the Bridge between the Classical and Quantum Theories. The Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators explains the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions by the diffraction patterns. The Weak Interaction changes the diffraction patterns by moving the electric charge from one side to the other side of the diffraction pattern, which violates the CP and Time reversal symmetry. The diffraction patterns and the locality of the self-maintaining electromagnetic potential explains also the Quantum Entanglement, giving it as a natural part of the relativistic quantum theory. The asymmetric sides are creating different frequencies of electromagnetic radiations being in the same intensity level and compensating each other. One of these compensating ratios is the electron-proton mass ratio. The lower energy side has no compensating intensity level, it is the dark energy and the corresponding matter is the dark matter.
Quantum magnetic monopoles at the Planck era from unified spinor fields
2020
I use Unified Spinor Fields (USF), to discuss the creation of magnetic monopoles during preinflation, as excitations of the quantum vacuum coming from a condensate of massive charged vector bosons. For a primordial universe with total energy MpM_pMp, and for magnetic monopoles created with a total Planck magnetic charge qM=qP=pme/sqrtalphaq_M=q_P=\pm e/\sqrt{\alpha}qM=qP=pme/sqrtalpha and a total mass mMm_MmM, it is obtained after quantisation of the action that the fine-structure constant is given by: alpha=frac56left(1−frac16,mM5,Mpright),left(fraceqMright)2\alpha= \frac{5}{6} \left(1- \frac{16 \,m_M}{5 \,M_p}\right) \,\left(\frac{e}{q_M}\right)^2alpha=frac56left(1−frac16,mM5,Mpright),left(fraceqMright)2. If these magnetic monopoles were with total magnetic charge qM=pmeq_M=\pm eqM=pme and a small mass m=mM/nm=m_M/nm=mM/n, there would be a large number of small quantum magnetic monopoles which could be candidates to explain the presence of dark matter with a 30.97,30.97\,\%30.97, of the energy in the primordial universe at the Planck era. The case of milli-magnetically charged particles is also analysed. We demonstrate that magnetic monopoles (MM) with masses l...
New Concept of Magnetic Monopoles.pdf
2019
All attempts to find Dirac magnetic monopoles have remained unsuccessful until now. Only quasi particles with characteristics similar to magnetic monopoles are created experimentally. This article formulates a new concept of intrinsic magnetic monopoles. Magnetic monopoles are elementary particles with magnetic charges and electric spins. They can be generated by splitting a photon in a strong magnetic field. According to the concept at least a magnetic lepton, magnetic baryon, magnetically neutral monopole and its antiparticles exist.
Can Magnetic Monopoles and Massive Photons Coexist in the Framework of the Same Classical Theory?
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2007
It is well known that one cannot construct a self-consistent quantum field theory describing the nonrelativistic electromagnetic interaction mediated by massive photons between a point-like electric charge and a magnetic monopole. We show that, indeed, this inconsistency arises in the classical theory itself. No semiclassic approximation or limiting procedure for → 0 is used. As a result, the string attached to the monopole emerges as visible also if finite-range electromagnetic interactions are considered in classical framework.
