论文摘要

(也内部:此手稿向读者介绍了反对存在的磁性单孔的论点,这构成了Staruszkiewicz的电荷量子力学的重要组成部分) 能量超过$ 10^{18} \ eV $的超高能(UHE)光子可能可以观察到。它们是在涉及电动颗粒的各种过程中产生的。但是,还有更多异国情调的情况。可以在巨大的磁性单极 - 抗斜杆对或与单孔相关的过程中发出的光子发射,通常是$ 10^{21} \ ev $或以后。观察光子可以对磁性单极的性质构成约束。 有令人信服的理论原因,支持自然界存在磁单孔。因此,在目前正在运行的专用实验中搜索了这些颗粒的预测观察性特征。尽管尝试了这些尝试,但磁性单极尚未得到经验证明。 理论上,狄拉克理论允许的磁性单孔的理论也可能不会以孤立的颗粒的形式实现。磁性单极的uHe光子特征的检测或未检测将使我们更接近解决这个引人入胜的难题。

(also inside: this manuscript introduces the reader to the argument against the existence of magnetic monopoles, which forms an essential part of Staruszkiewicz's Quantum Mechanics of the Electric Charge) Ultra-high energy (UHE) photons with energies exceeding $10^{18}\eV$ can potentially be observed. They are produced in various processes involving electrically charged particles. However, more exotic scenarios are also possible. UHE photons could be emitted in encounters of massive magnetically charged monopole--antimonopole pairs or in processes associated with monopoles accelerated to high energies, typically $10^{21}\eV$ or beyond. Observing UHE photons can pose constraints on the properties of magnetic monopoles. There are compelling theoretical reasons in favor of the presence of magnetic monopoles in nature. The predicted observational signatures of these particles are therefore searched for in dedicated experiments currently in operation. Despite these attempts, magnetic monopoles have yet to be empirically proved. There are also theoretical reasons why magnetic monopoles allowed by Dirac's theory might not be realized in nature in the form of isolated particles. Detection or non-detection of UHE photon signatures of magnetic monopoles would bring us closer to solving this fascinating puzzle.
