Monopoles: <strong>in</strong>troductory remarks<br />
• Dirac argument (1931): existence of magnetic charge<br />

– Fundamental magnetic charge: g = 68.5N (N = 1,2,3...)<br />
• Coupl<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> photon ≫ 1<br />
– Non-perturb<strong>at</strong>ive dynamics<br />
– Very large ionis<strong>at</strong>ion energy loss<br />
