On Possibility of Magnetic Monopoles Generated in Decaying Colossal (10<sup>16</sup>T) Magnetic Fields in Femtosecond Laser—Pb-Pellet Interaction.

POSTER

Abstract

A novel idea is proposed: the magnetic monopoles [1] [2](a few gD, Dirac magnetic charge) might be generated via the laser-matter interaction physics.[3] A femtosecond laser (≥ 10MJ; ≤ 0.1μ [4]) in interaction with a Pb-pellet (diameter ≤100 μ) might produce, it seems to me, the B-fields of the threshold-decay-intensity, so as to spontaneously decay into Dirac-anti Dirac monopoles.
