Assume an electron is transported along a closed path enclosing the Dirac String,
the phase transition of its wave function should be:

To accommodate magnetic monopoles in classic electromagnetism,
let’s rewrite the Maxwell Equations in a symmetric way:
Scalar

If you accept the idea of magnetic charge, you may notice
the following Duality Transforms are completely trivial:
CP violation is a necessary consequence of the
existence of a particle carrying both electric charge and
magnetic charge.
It is just our
convention to say a
particle possessing
an electric charge or
magnetic charge.
What really matters
is the fraction…

Making Pairs
• Looping over all hits combinations
• Calculating the voting parameters for each pair
Partitioning• Partition by DCM and Time Slice: this step reduces the
number of combinations
Peak Identification
• Transform results of each pair are put into corresponding containers
• Making selections of each container to register a peak(track)

• Sensitivity goes as surface area: πFA, where F is the flux
• Our acceptance is not yet known: we hope we can do better for
80% for high-mass monopoles and perhaps half that for low-mass
• Eventually, if the acceptance is large enough, we can beat MACRO
• Should be able to beat SLIM for intermediate-mass monopoles

No matter how loose
the binning is, you
always have a chance to
split the Hough peak.
To prevent looping over
all hits again, the
binning is pre-
determined.

Defining Adjacent Grids
• Now we have grids in the cube (v bins in vpro, etc), and each grid can be labeled as:
• The distance of the two grids and is defined as following:
• Two grids are adjacent to each other if their distance is below 4.

Assuming the monopole passes through a degenerate Fermi gas of non-
interacting electrons (this assumption is applicable when the monopole is
slow enough: ):
as the monopole’s velocity decreases, fewer electrons of the Fermi sea
are “available” for ionizing.

• Sensitivity roughly proportional to detector area
• Very high-mass monopoles come isotropically from
all sides, unlike cosmic rays, lower mass monopoles
from above
• The observed isotropic rate is: R = πFAε• F is the flux of monopoles (cm-2sr-1)
• A is the total detector area (cm2)
• ε is the detector efficiency, livetime, etc.
• What we are after is not R, but the flux F = R/πAε• If we see no monopoles assume R = 2.3 to get the
90% CL limit:
• F(90% CL) = 2.3 / πAε

The statue of Aristophanes and Menander
Remember, the elements we pushed
back into the companies are pairs of
cell hits.
We need to pick out all the individual
hits from a regiment to form a
platoon.
The challenge is to avoid pushing back
a same hit twice. And this is achieved
by using “unordered_set”.
