Photon as the Magnetic Monopole
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we reinvestigate photon. We show that photon with a specific frequency can be identified with the Dirac magnetic monopole. We give a model of quantum electrodynamics from which we derive photon as a quantum loop of this model. This nonlinear loop model of photon is exactly solvable and thus may be regarded as a quantum soliton. From the winding numbers of this loop model of photon we derive the quantization property of energy of Planck’s formula of radiation and the quantization property of electric charge. We show that the quantization property of electric charge is derived from the quantization property of energy of Planck’s formula of radiation when photon with a specific frequency is identified with the magnetic monopole. From this nonlinear model of photon we also construct a model of electron which has a mass mechanism for generating mass to electron. PACS codes: 11.25.Hf, 02.10.Kn, 11.15.-q.

Dirac Magnetic Monopole Production from Photon Fusion in Proton Collisions
We calculate the lowest order cross–section for Dirac magnetic monopole production from photon fusion (γγ) in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV, pp collisions at √ s = 14 TeV, and we compare γγ with Drell–Yan (DY) production. We find the total γγ cross–section is comparable with DY at √ s = 1.96 TeV and dominates DY by a factor > ∼ 50 at √ s = 14 TeV. We conclude that both the γγ and DY processes...
متن کاملMonopole - antimonopole interaction in Abelian Higgs model
We consider interaction of a probe monopole-antimonopole pair in the vacuum of the Abelian Higgs model. For simplicity, the mass of the Higgs particle is assumed to be much larger than the mass of the photon (London limit). In case of a massive photon the straightforward application of the Zwanziger formalism to accommodate both magnetic and electric charges is known to result in gauge dependen...
متن کاملMagnetic Monopole and the Finite Photon Mass: Are They Compatible?
We analyze the role played by the gauge invariance for the existence of Dirac monopole. To this end, we consider the electrodynamics with massive photon and ask if the magnetic charge can be introduced there. We show that the derivation of the Dirac quantization condition based on the angular momentum algebra cannot be generalized to the case of massive electrodynamics. Possible implications of...
متن کاملUm-p-95/59, Rchep-95/16 Massive Electrodynamics and the Magnetic Monopoles
We investigate in detail the problem of constructing magnetic monopole solutions within the finite-range electrodynamics (i.e., electrodynamics with non-zero photon mass, which is the simplest extension of the standard theory; it is fully compatible with the experiment). We first analyze the classical electrodynamics with the additional terms describing the photon mass and the magnetic charge; ...
متن کاملPath Integral Quantization of Dual Abelian Gauge Theory
The path integral for 3+1 abelian gauge theory is rewritten in terms of a real antisymmetric field allowing a dual action that couples the electric and magnetic currents to the photon and each other in a gauge invariant manner. Standard perturbative abelian quantum electrodynamics reemerges when the monopole current vanishes. For certain simple relationships between the monopole current and the...
