Do Maxicharged particles exist?

Abstract

The critical charge ZcZ_c is estimated for elementary particles using a Newton-Wigner position operator inspired model. Particles with ZZcZ \sim Z_c (maxicharged particles), if they exist at all, can have unusual properties which turn them into elusive objects not easy to detect. Dirac's magnetic poles have a (magnetic) charge gZcg\gg Z_c. This gives one more argument that it is unexpected that pointlike monopoles to be found in our world, where α1137 \alpha^{-1}\simeq 137.
