Critical-voltage law for chiral particle production near a monopole

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

Recent progress in understanding the implications of winding-number transitions and topological quantized magnetic flux in terms of a sine-Gordon theory in charge space, is here discussed in terms of a previously derived critical-voltage law for such processes in superconducting rings. In particular, chiral particle production in the neighborhood of a monopole will be of interest.
