Testing Guts: Where do Monopoles Fit?

  • Chapter
Book cover Magnetic Monopoles

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 102))

Abstract

It is impossible to resist the temptation to develop an anatomical analogy for the introduction to this talk. You have had the bare bones of monopole theory exposed to you.1 My brief is now to enter the belly of the beast and discuss whether grand unified monopoles2 (GUMs) should be regarded as a minor appendix to GUTs. We will indeed find that GUMs could provide crucial tests of GUTs, particularly through their possible propensity3,4,5 to eat matter as they pass by it.
