Contribution

It offers new calculations of production cross sections for magnetic monopoles and monopolium in various collider types, extending previous theoretical work.

Findings

Magnetic monopoles and monopolium could be detectable in future electron-electron colliders.

Cross section calculations are provided for electron-electron, proton-proton, and lead-lead collisions.

Results suggest feasible experimental observation of magnetic monopoles in upcoming collider experiments.

Abstract

The exclusive production by the photon fusion of magnetic monopoles and the bound states of magnetic monopoles, the monopolium, is consider in different high energy processes. More specifically, we calculate the total cross sections of the ultraperipheral elastic collisions of electron-electron, proton-proton and lead-lead in present and future colliders, comparing with the previous results found in the literature. Our results indicates that magnetic monopoles or his bound states, if both exists, can be measuareble in future electron-electron colliders.
