Electron and monopole properties in a dark matter model
Abstract
Monopoles have been a subject of much theoretical and experimental research since they were proposed to symmetrize Maxwell's equations. No experimental signature of their existence has been detected. A model generalizing QED with dark massless photons and dark monopoles was proposed not long ago. In this model, by introducing a mixing interaction between the two sectors, leptons and monopoles are transformed into into dyons. This particular behavior of the electrons determines a new path to study the physics of monopoles. Here we generalize the Electroweak theory in the same way by incorporating a dark sector with massive photons and monopoles, and analyze experimental consequences for electrons in both models. The mass of the dark photon plays an important role regarding observability.
