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.

  1. Generalizations and UV completions of Cho-Maison monopole

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. Constraining magnetic monopoles and multiply charged particles with diphoton events at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    LHC diphoton data exclude magnetic monopoles and multiply charged particles with masses up to tens of TeV across various spins and charges.

  3. The electroweak magnetic monopole in the presence of KSVZ axion

    hep-ph 2023-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  4. Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted

    Magnetic monopoles are theoretically well-motivated but remain unobserved after extensive searches in cosmic rays and at particle colliders such as the LHC.
