The Large Hadron Collider is reaching energies never achieved before allowing the search for exotic particles in the TeV mass range. In a continuing effort to find monopoles we discuss the effect of the magnetic dipole field created by a pair of monopole-anti-monopole or monopolium on the successive bunches of charged particles in the beam at LHC.
As shown by Taubes, in the Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfield limit the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model possesses smooth finite energy solutions, which do not satisfy the first order Bogomolnyi equations. We construct numerically such a non-Bogomolnyi solution, corresponding to a monopole-antimonopole pair, and extend the construction to finite Higgs potential.
In this paper, we study charged current deep inelastic scattering of muon neutrinos off ^{56}Fe nuclei using Hirai, Kumano and Saito model. The LHA Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) - CT10 are used to describe the partonic content of hadrons. Modification of PDFs inside the nuclei is done using EPPS16 parameterization at next-to-leading order. Target mass correction has also been incorporated in the calculations. We calculate the structure functions (F_{2}(x,Q^{2}) and xF_{3}(x,Q^{2})), the ratios (R_{2}(x,Q^{2}) = frac{F^{^{56}Fe}_{2}}{F^{Nucleon}_{2}} and R_{3}(x,Q^{2}) = frac{F^{^{56}Fe}_{3}}{F^{Nucleon}_{3}}) and the differential cross sections of muon neutrino deep inelastic scattering off a nucleon and ^{56}Fe nuclei. We compare the obtained results with measured experimental data. The present theoretical approach gives a good description of data.
In this work, we study charged current quasi elastic scattering of muon anti-neutrino off nucleon and nucleus using a formalism based on Llewellyn Smith (LS) model. Parameterizations by Galster et al. are used for electric and magnetic Sachs form factors of nucleons. We use Fermi gas model along with Pauli suppression condition to take into account the nuclear effects in anti-neutrino - nucleus QES. We calculate muon anti-neutrino-p and muon anti-neutrino-^{12}C charged current quasi elastic scattering differential and total cross sections for different values of axial mass M_{A} and compare the results with data from GGM, SKAT, BNL, NOMAD, MINERvA and MiniBooNE experiments. The present theoretical approach gives an excellent description of differential cross section data. The calculations with axial mass M_{A} = 0.979 and 1.05 GeV are compatible with data from most of the experiments.
We describe the internal composition of a topologically stable monopole carrying a magnetic charge of $6pi/e$ that arises from the spontaneous breaking of the trinification symmetry $SU(3)_ctimes SU(3)_Ltimes SU(3)_R$ ($G$). Since this monopole carries no color magnetic charge, a charge of $6pi/e$ is required by the Dirac quantization condition. The breaking of $G$ to the Standard Model occurs in a number of steps and yields the desired topologically stable monopole (magnetic baryon), consisting of three confined monopoles. The confined monopoles (magnetic quarks) each carry a combination of Coulomb magnetic flux and magnetic flux tubes, and therefore they do not exist as isolated states. We also display a more elaborate configuration (fang necklace) composed of these magnetic quarks. In contrast to the $SU(5)$ monopole which is superheavy and carries a magnetic charge of $2pi/e$ as well as color magnetic charge, the trinification monopole may have mass in the TeV range, in which case it may be accessible at the LHC and its planned upgrades.
This study provides an accurate, efficient, and simple multiple scattering formulation for heavy charged particles such as protons and heavier ions with a new form of scattering power that is a key quantity for beam transport in matter. The Highland formula for multiple scattering angle was modified to a scattering-power formula to be used within the Fermi-Eyges theory in the presence of heterogeneity. An analytical formula for RMS end-point displacement in homogeneous matter was also derived for arbitrary ions. The formulation was examined in terms of RMS angles and displacements in comparison with other formulations and measurements. The results for protons, helium ions, and carbon ions in water agreed with them at a level of 2% or the differences were discussed.
