Non-Abelian Monopoles as the Origin of Dark Matter

We suggest that dark matter may be partially constituted by a dilute t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles gas. We reach this conclusion by using the Georgi-Glashow model coupled to a dual kinetic mixing term $ F{tilde {cal G}}$ where $F$ is the electromagnetic field and ${cal G}$ the t Hooft tensor. We show that these monopoles carry both (Maxwell) electric and (Georgi-Glashow) magnetic charges and the electric charge quantization condition is modified in terms of a dimensionless real parameter. This parameter could be determined from milli-charged particle experiments.
