Hello to all:

You may recall my recent paper http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0508257, Magnetic
Monopoles and Duality Symmetry Breaking in Maxwell's Electrodynamics,
discussed on sci.+. Among the results in this paper was a predictions of a
2.35 TeV mass for the vector boson that mediates magnetic monopole
interactions. One question on my mind has been whether there is any
lower-energy manifestation of magnetic monopoles that might already have
been observed in experiments on the order, say, of s = 100 GeV^2.

I just finished a careful calculation of cross-section enhancements at s =
M_Z^2. For e-bar e -- mu-bar mu, the magnetic monopole interaction
enhances the cross section by about 2% over what is expected for electroweak
theory absent this interaction. The neutrinos are the only particles which
do not have this enhancement, because they carry no electric or magnetic
charge.

If one were to try to explain this without considering magnetic monopoles,
it turns out one would need to adjust the weak mixing angle by about .003.
That is, the weak mixing angle for interactions of the charged fermions
would need to be about .003 smaller than that of the neutral neutrinos in
order to account for the cross-sectional enhancements which I have now found
are due to magnetic monopoles.

That is the same magnitude as the NuTeV anomaly, and the right direction
also!

I hope to have the details out the door in the next week or so.

Jay.

Hi Jay, Fred and all...

I'd like to venture an alternative explanation, in agreement with Jays
solution and I think, underpins Jays ideas.

Back in the monopole thread, Fred asked about Jay's "complexion
angle" denoted alpha as an indicator of nonorthogonality, I think it
does and I'll demo why I think so based in General Relativity.

Using a thought experiment direct two repelling charges toward each
other at higher and higher speeds. As they are pressed together a
point is reached where the field is sufficiently dense (using Guv =
Tuv)
that the curvature of spacetime overcomes the mutual repulsion.

Using GR, I obtain |g_uv|=1/sqrt(2) at the point when the field is
sufficiently dense for the Electrostatic repulsion to be equal to the
field attractivity, (I guess I should call that gravitation, but it's
might
be best called super-gravity, due to it's kinetic energy source).

This corresponds to Jay's alpha=45 degrees, and at that point
he finds (IIRC) the "magnetic monopole charge" and the electric
charge have an equal influence.

If the monopoles are attractive, then they balance the repulsion
at alpha = 45 degrees in agreement with GR.

Jay maybe using a "loop-hole" in how Dual Tensors relate but that
would require mathematicians to determine. I accept Jays method
as a postulate, and defer to experimental results.

While Jay is working in a flat geometry, he may also be solving
a difficult problem in GR.

In overview, magnetism is known to be a relative effect, and we're
quite familiar as to how relative velocities of charges create magnetic
effects, that's a well known Special Relativity Effect. However that
effect should manifest in GR as explained above where higher
energies occur, such as in particle accelerators.

In that sense, GR permits two stationary charged particles in close
proximity to modify the usual electrostatic force - much the same
as relative velocity creates SR's magnetism - due to a modification
of the field density as Einstein's Law Guv=Tuv suggests.
