The Magnetic Monopole, Thomas E. Kemple
The Magnetic Monopole, Thomas E. Kemple
Masters Theses
"Since Dirac has shown that the concept of a magnetic monopole follows from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics and that it imposes quantization of electric charge, one has reason for taking the magnetic monopole seriously. Such particles, if they exist, would also give symmetry to Maxwell's equations.
A comprehensive review of the literature is presented and all known properties of magnetic poles are discussed. Scattering of mono- poles by heavy nuclei is analyzed in detail and definite mathematical relations are established. All previous experimental work known is outlined and discussed. Definite criteria for identification of monopole tracks in a …
