  1. 1. Classical motion in synthetic monopole fields

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Ola Carlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for a quantum system the emergent synthetic magnetic field can be seen as generated by monopoles at points of degeneracy, in full analogue to the synthetic fields generating the geometric phase of adiabatically evolving quantum systems. The plausibility of using these synthetic magnetic monopoles as a means to study magnetic monopole dynamics in the absence of fundamental magnetic monopoles has been explored. READ MORE

  3. 2. Electromagnetic Duality in SO(3) Yang-Mills Theory : Bachelor Thesis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Jim Lundin; [2018]
    Keywords : Montonen-Olive conjecture; BPS states; t Hooft-Polyakov monopole; Witten effect; SL 2; Z invariance;

    Abstract : We introduce the historical context and motivation for the search for magnetic monopoles or monopole-like objects. Beginning the theoretical part we investigate the properties of groups as they relate to symmetries in physical theories. READ MORE

  4. 3. Characterization of monopole induced air showers using CORSIKA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Jan Rol; [2017]
    Keywords : monopole; cosmic ray; air shower;

    Abstract : In this thesis a characterization of air showers induced by magnetic monopoles is presented. Monopoles are predicted to exist and be accelerated to relativistic velocities. High energy monopoles traversing earth’s atmosphere continuously deposit energy, inducing an air shower. READ MORE

  5. 4. Solitons in High Energy Physics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Edvin Olofsson; [2017]
    Keywords : sine-Gordon model; solitons; high energy physics; particle physics; Thirring model; vortices; magnetic monopoles; homotopy; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Solitons are solutions to classical field equations that are particle like, meaning they are localized in space, have definite energy and can be stable against deformations into the vacuum. In this thesis we investigate under which circumstances such solutions may exist and what effects their existence could have. READ MORE
