	Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, magnetic monopole is a term describing a hypothetical particle that could be quickly clarified to a person familiar with magnets but not electromagnetic theory as "a magnet with only one pole".
		A hypothetical isolated magnetic pole is called a magnetic monopole; it has been theorized that such things might exist in the form of tiny particles similar to electrons or protons, forming from topological defects in a similar manner to cosmic strings, but no such particles have ever been found.
		Non-inflationary Big Bang cosmology suggests that monopoles should be plentiful, and the failure to find magnetic monopoles is one of the main problems that led to the creation of cosmic inflation theory.

	Talk:Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The magnetic monopole article has a link to charge in the first sentence, referring to "magnetic charge", but there is only an article on "electric charge".
		An isolated magnetic pole is called a magnetic monopole; it has been theorized that such things might exist in the form of tiny particles similar to electrons or protons, but no such particles have ever been found.
		Referring to [2]: it's not necessary for even a single magnetic monopole to be present in the universe, there only needs to be the potential for one to exist.

	Direction finding antenna and system - Patent 4161736
		One of the monopoles preferably is connected to the ground plane by a terminating resistor, defining the antenna terminated end, the other monopole being connected to a receiver through an impedance transformer, defining the antenna output end.
		In operation, a radio signal from a remote source impinges first on the monopole of an antenna closest to that signal, and induces a current in the monopole which is then conducted by the transmission line to the second monopole of that antenna.
		Also in the embodiment illustrated, the monopole 14 is connected to a receiver circuit (not shown) by a coaxial connection 34, the monopole 16 being connected to ground through a resistance 36, equal to the characteristic impedance of the receiver input circuit.

		But the question of whether or not magnetic monopoles exist has a certain amount of intellectual baggage that goes along with it that needs to be corrected.
		One might say: "Do magnetic monopoles exist like electric monopoles exist?" Clearly, there is a belief that electric monopoles exist in isolation and that people consider that individual or discrete elementary charged particles are examples of electric monopoles.
		A monopole would only be a north or south pole, with no accompanying opposite pole, not unlike a normal electric charge.There have been some interest in the possibility of monopoles, mainly for theoretical purposes.

		There are a number of possible types of defects, such as domain walls, cosmic strings, monopoles, textures and other `hybrid' creatures.
		Monopoles are predicted to be supermassive and carry magnetic charge.
		The existence of monopoles is an inevitable prediction of grand unified theories (GUTs); this is one of the puzzles of the standard cosmology.

	Interaction of 16 monopoles - symmetrical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The motion of each monopole is therefore determined by the 15 other monopoles and by the 'reflections' of all monopoles in the walls.
		The result is that some monopoles join with oppositely signed monopoles and form dipolar structures, while other monopoles are torn apart and merge with monopoles of the same sign to form larger monopoles.
		The result of this is that the monopole starts moving along an ellips-like path around the centre; the closer to the wall it starts, the faster it moves.

	CERN Courier - MACRO delivers its final wor - IOP Publishing - article
		During the 1970s, monopoles appeared on the scene again, when theorists found that electric charge is naturally quantized in gauge theories that unify the strong and the electroweak interactions (GUTs).
		The GUT monopole is a complicated object with a very small core and different surrounding regions.
		Because of the smallness of the monopole's core this should be a very rare phenomenon, but if there are baryon number violating terms in the four-fermion virtual condensate around a GUT monopole of up to 1 fm radius, the cross-section could be large and the phenomenon could be observed.

		All of the monopoles are designed as self-resonant antennas, so they do not need any external load to cancel out the reactive part of their input impedance.
		A close look at the results reveals that the resonant frequency of a Koch monopole is higher than that of a straight monopole of the same wire length and the reduction factor in the resonant frequency of the Koch antenna as the iteration number increases tends monotonically to one.
		This work investigates further in the dependence of the resonant frequency with the monopole geometry, in order to acquire guidelines for the design of self-resonant small antennas, in which an increase of the wire length effectively leads to a reduction in the resonant frequency.

	ess
		He related the existence of monopoles to the phases of quantum waves and proposed that magnetic monopoles might exist with multiples of the magnetic unit charge.
		The necessity of magnetic monopoles in these theories was shown by the Dutch physicist G. t’Hooft and by the Russian physicist Alexander Polyakov.
		Furthermore a monopole would not be a pointlike particle and it would posses a rather complex structure [4].

	Interaction of 16 monopoles - not symmetrical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Apparently some monopoles join with oppositely signed monopoles and form dipolar structures, while other monopoles are torn apart and merge with monopoles of the same sign to form larger monopoles.
		If in the initial state the 16 monopoles are placed symmetric around the centre, the resulting evolution remains symmetric, as Interaction of 16 monopoles - symmetrical shows.
		The overall behaviour of the monopoles is the same if no-slip walls are used as boundary conditions, but the details are not: no-slip walls generated oppositely signed vorticity near the walls with which the monopoles interact when they reach the walls.

	Internet Infidels Discussion Forum: Is magnetism a relativistic phenomenon? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Even the theories that postulate magnetic monopoles do not say that they are the cause of magnetism in normal matter--they are expected to be pretty rare, I believe.
		The existence of magnetic monopoles might just demonstrate that the relation between coulomb and magnetic forces is completely symmetrical, since uncharged magnetic monopoles would presumably generate a coulomb force when you move them around, as a consequence of relativity again.
		The relevance of this is that the magnetic monopoles predicted in GUT's are also topological solitons, though the configuration in three dimensional space is more difficult to visualise than for the one dimensional of the clothes line.

	Magnetic monopoles as engines for cosmological inflation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Previous theoretical studies of monopoles have all considered them to be point-like objects that were too small to be affected by inflation.
		If the initial inflationary region is visualized as a bubble, then each monopole creates a new bubble extending from the original and, in the process, creates new monopole pairs which begin creating other new bubbles, and so on for eternity.
		The possibility that monopoles by themselves solve the monopole problem is so simple that it certainly deserves further in vestigation," Linde said.

	Monopole FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The number of monopoles predicted can be significantly smaller if the Universe is also expanding exponentially at the point in Big Bang where monopoles would have formed.
		Then there may be as little as a few monopoles (or none), or many more monopoles may have been created during a later "reheating" phase.
		So the easiest way to look for monopoles is to build a big detector and then to look for things that take a long time to cross it.

		So, as the mass of such a monopole should be very high, the search for it will be a matter of high energy physicists, not solid state researchers.
		Monopoles are classical objects, they are a special kind of soliton.
		So if there is a monopole solution to a wave equation, there should be a current and a conserved charge which makes the monopole stable (I dont know much, as I said earlier, about monopoles, but what I say here should ar least be true if you consider ´t Hooft monopoles).

		We present an argument that all orientable 3-manifolds should be consistent with a very wide class of possible laws of physics; but almost all $n$-manifolds for almost all $n \ne 3$ won't be.
		This is perhaps a ``reason the world is 3 dimensional.'' Next we argue that if point monopoles exist, and Dirac's wave equation of quantum mechanics holds, then a contradiction arises.
		Hence monopoles cannot exist -- or: they are not points; or: Dirac's equation for quantum mechanics is not correct.

		This contradicts to the notion that the monopole gas is responsible for disordering Wilson loops.
		These monopoles, however do not form a random gas, but rather they are aligned in a network of chains of alternating monopoles and antimonopoles.

		These particles are a natural consequence of Grand Unified Theories, which also predict that the monopole will be very massive: perhaps 10^16 GeV.

		That is, a sudden increase in the current in the coil which is maintained because of the very small resistance of the coil.
		A monopole candidate event with a very similar signature to that observed by Cabrera (shown above) was observed by a group using ssuperconducting ring monopole detector at Imperial College, London.
		Again, the observed jump in the measured flux was completely consistent with the passage of a magnetic monopole through one of the coils.

	Have physicists seen magnetic monopoles? (October 2003) - News - PhysicsWeb
		Dirac linked the existence of magnetic monopoles with the quantization of electric charge - another puzzle that is still not fully understood - but they have never been detected in an experiment.
		Magnetic monopoles are also predicted by some theories that seek to unify the electroweak and strong interactions.
		The team was motivated by recent theoretical work which suggested that the behaviour of magnetic monopoles in momentum space is closely related to the anomalous Hall effect.
