A review on magnetic monopoles What is a RPP review good for ? Why are monopoles important ? What is already in the RPP ? Why is a monopole review desirable and what could it look like ?

What is a RPP review good for ? Short review should on an important topic should be a physicist’s executive summary and a good starting point for a detailed survey. –Overview of theory and experiment –Competitive current limits (and associated uncertainties) –Up-to-date and well chosen reference list. Personal perspective –Recent student project on muon g-2. –Wide literature survey and much confusion. –Eased by RPP article.

The importance of monopoles (1) Dirac’s argument (1931): Angular momentum of field of monopole-electron system: One monopole needed to ”explain” electric charge quantisation. Dirac monopole of charge g D (2) Monopoles are also features of BSM theories, eg grand unified theories (GUT monopoles): mass=10 15 though some models predicts lighter monopoles (3) Symmetrise Maxwell equations (4) Catalyse proton decay

What is in the pdg ? 8 page listing of searches (D. Groom) –Accelerator searches –Cosmic ray searches –Astrophysics –Matter searches – >120 limits Short summary (D. Groom) To be expanded –LHC experiments (inc. MOEDAL) –Cosmic ray, eg IceCube. Date No. limits Cabrera’s ”monopole” event

Why the reader needs guidance (1) Many experimental techniques, some more model dependent than others –Ionisation (g D equivalent to 70e) –Induction (SQUID : cosmic ray/matter) –Trajectory (non-parabolic) –TOF –Indirect search through multi-photon final states D0: Phys.Rev.Lett.81: ,1998

Why the reader needs guidance (2) Limits dependent on theoretical ansatzes –Difficulty in calculating monopole processes due to inapplicability of perturbatve field theory. Eg, assumptions on: Binding in matter Multi-photon Direct production mechanisms Important assumptions and uncertainties should be stated.

Possible format of a review A possible monopole review could look like: –Intro –Theoretical overview : Dirac’s argument, monopoles in GUTs, calculations for monopoles at collders etc. – Detection Techniques Ionisation Trajectory Induction … –Limits from experiments Accelerator Cosmic ray Matter Astrophysics limits Length anywhere between pages. Current RPP reviews between 1 and 50 pages.

Reviews Already detailed reviews ”on the market” –Most reflect the authors’ interest in specific aspects of monopoles –Eg Milton, Rept.Prog.Phys.69: ,2006 –Fairbairn et al., Phys. Rept. 438: –Giacomelli and Patrizii, hep-ex/ Nothing like the standard, concise RPP- style review.

Summary Monopole searches have been a feature of experimental particle physics for half a century For every new energy, new collision type, or form of matter a search is made. Searches to be performed at LHC and cosmic ray experiments. RPP maintains an excellent listing of searches A short review would help the reader understand easily the listing and provide the definitive ”starting point” for those interested in the field. I would have benefited from such a review when I made a search at HERA.
