Scientific paper

Theoretical and experimental investigations of the possible existence of monopoles are reviewed. The charge of monopoles was calculated by Dirac and monopoles have provided stable solutions for Yang-Mills field equations, as well as being features of grand unified theories. A dynamic induction detector possibly recorded the passage of a monopole in 1982, with data acquired being within 5 percent of theoretical predictions. Similar experiments have also been performed to find dyons, particles carrying both electric and magnetic charge. Induction, ionization, acoustical, and electromagnetic techniques are being examined for detecting monopoles. Possible sources and sinks for the particles include the Big Bang, monopolonium, galactic magnetic fields, cosmic rays, neutron stars, and accelerators, none of which are particularly productive.
