Are monopoles hiding in monopolium?

چکیده
Dirac showed that the existence of one magnetic pole in the universe could offer an explanation of the discrete nature of the electric charge. Magnetic poles appear naturally in most Grand Unified Theories. Their discovery would be of greatest importance for particle physics and cosmology. The intense experimental search carried thus far has not met with success. I propose a Universe with magnetic poles which are not observed free because they hide in deeply bound monopole– anti-monopole states named monopolium. I study the feasibility of this proposal and establish signatures for confirming my scenario. Pacs: 14.80.Hv, 95.30.Cq, 98.70.-f, 98.80.-k

Embedded Topological Defects in Electroweak Theory: From Percolating Networks to Sphalerons
New defects (Z-vortices and Nambu monopoles) are found to become thermodynamically relevant for the broken phase near to the (weakly first order) electroweak phase transition, and below the crossover for higher Higgs mass. The symmetric phase is characterized by vortex condensation (percolation). The percolation transition persists in the crossover region. The quasiclassical nature of the vorti...

متن کاملZ–Vortex Percolation in the Electroweak Crossover Region
We study the percolation properties of embedded topological defects, Z–vortices, and the occurrence of the corresponding Nambu monopoles in the electroweak theory for a Higgs mass MH ≈ 100 GeV, near to the crossover temperature. Although there is no phase transition anymore at such strong selfcoupling, we observe that the Z–vortices still exhibit a percolation transition that has been found rec...
متن کاملA survey on digital data hiding schemes: principals, algorithms, and applications
This paper investigates digital data hiding schemes. The concept of information hiding will be explained at first, and its traits, requirements, and applications will be described subsequently. In order to design a digital data hiding system, one should first become familiar with the concepts and criteria of information hiding. Having knowledge about the host signal, which may be audio, image, ...
