Abstract

We present the first numerical solution that corresponds to a pair of Cho–Maison monopoles and antimonopoles (MAPs) in the SU(2) × U(1) Weinberg–Salam (WS) theory. The monopoles are finitely separated, while each pole carries a magnetic charge ±4π/e. The positive pole is situated in the upper hemisphere, whereas the negative pole is in the lower hemisphere. The Cho–Maison MAP is investigated for a range of Weinberg angles,

0.4675≤tanθW≤10

, and Higgs self-coupling, 0 ≤ β ≤ 1.7704. The magnetic dipole moment (μ _m) and pole separation (d _z) of the numerical solutions are calculated and analyzed. The total energy of the system, however, is infinite due to point singularities at the locations of monopoles.

标准模型中的电弱单极子-反单极子对

我们首次提出了与 SU(2) × U(1) 温伯格-萨拉姆（WS）理论中一对 Cho-Maison 单极和反单极（MAPs）相对应的数值解。单极是有限分离的，而每个极都带有±4π/e的磁荷。正极位于上半球，而负极位于下半球。在温伯格角（0.4675≤tanθW≤10）和希格斯自耦合（0≤β≤1.7704）的范围内，研究了乔-迈松 MAP。计算并分析了数值解的磁偶极矩（μm）和磁极分离（dz）。然而，由于单极位置的点奇异性，系统的总能量是无限的。
