Signatures of excited monopolium

TL;DR

This paper investigates the electromagnetic signatures of excited monopolium, a bound state of monopoles, by analyzing how particles with magnetic moments interact with coils and solenoids, revealing potential detection methods.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of electromagnetic interactions of monopolium in excited states, considering both stable and finite-lifetime scenarios.

Findings

Electromagnetic signatures depend on the lifetime of the particles.

Bound states of monopoles exhibit detectable currents in coils and solenoids.

The study provides theoretical groundwork for experimental detection of monopolium.

Abstract

We study electromagnetic properties of particles with magnetic moment and no charge using their behavior when traversing coils and solenoids. These particles via the Faraday-Lenz law create a current whose energy we calculate. We analyze both the case of very long lived, almost stable, particles and those with a finite lifetime. We use this development to study the behavior of monopolium a monopole-antimonopole bound state in its excited states.
