Charge Exchange Scattering Of Charged Gauge Bosons By 't Hooft-polyakov Monopole

Cvetic, G; Yan, Tung-Mow

Abstract

We have studied the scattering of a low energy charged gauge boson by a 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole in a spontaneously broken SU(2) gauge theory. It is found that a charge exchange scattering occurs in the sector of zero total angular momentum. The charge exchange scattering has a nonvanishing finite amplitude when the size of the monopole becomes very small. Implications of our results are discussed.
