Monopoles in Weinberg-Salam Model
read the original abstract
We present a new type of spherically symmetric monopole and dyon solutions with the magnetic charge $ 4\pi/e$ in the standard Weinberg-Salam model. The monopole (and dyon) could be interpreted as a non-trivial hybrid between the abelian Dirac monopole and non-abelian 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole (with an electric charge). We discuss the possible physical implications of the electroweak dyon.

Generalizations and UV completions of Cho-Maison monopole
Cho-Maison-like monopoles exist in many gauge theories with electroweak-type symmetry breaking and emerge as effective low-energy descriptions from larger 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles in UV-complete models like Pati-Salam.

The electroweak magnetic monopole in the presence of KSVZ axion
Incorporating the KSVZ axion modifies the mass and electromagnetic charges of the Cho-Maison electroweak monopole through numerical solutions of the coupled equations with axion-photon interaction.

Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider
Magnetic monopoles are theoretically well-motivated but remain unobserved after extensive searches in cosmic rays and at particle colliders such as the LHC.
