Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider
Vasiliki A. Mitsou
One of the basic properties of magnetism is that a magnet has always two poles, north and south, which cannot be separated into isolated poles, the magnetic monopoles. There are st…
Constraining magnetic monopoles and multiply charged particles with diphoton events at the LHC
Vasiliki A. Mitsou, Emanuela Musumeci
The LHC is achieving energies never reached before, opening up possibilities for the discovery of exotic particles in the TeV mass range. Such states include magnetic monopoles, wh…
Magnetic-monopole resummation justifies perturbatively calculated collider production cross sections
Jean Alexandre, Nick E. Mavromatos, Vasiliki A. Mitsou +1
A one-loop resummation scheme, inspired by Dyson-Schwinger (DS) formalism of strongly coupled quantum field theories, is applied to spin-1/2 magnetic monopoles (MMs), in the contex…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
A Linear Collider Vision for the Future of Particle Physics
H. Abramowicz, E. Adli, F. Alharthi +446
In this paper we review the physics opportunities at linear colliders with a special focus on high centre-of-mass energies and beam polarisation, take a fresh look at the…
ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study
H. Abidi, J. A. Aguilar-Saavedra, S. Airen +373
The ECFA Higgs, electroweak, and top Factory Study ran between 2021 and 2025 as a broad effort across the experimental and theoretical particle physics communities, bringing togeth…
