Description | Speaker: T. Daniel Brennan Title: The Callan Rubakov Effect Room: 3024 Host: John Terning Abstract: The Callan Rubakov Effect describes the interaction between (massless) fermions and a smooth monopole in 4d gauge theory. In this scenario, the fermions can probe the UV physics inside the monopole core which leads to interesting effects such as proton decay in GUT models. However, the monopole-fermion scattering appears to lead to out-states that are not in the perturbative Hilbert space. In this talk, we will review this issue and propose a new physical mechanism that may resolve this long-standing confusion. |
