Induced plasma magnetization due to magnetic monopoles

Plasma Physics 2010-10-19 v1

Abstract

When magnetic monopoles are introduced in plasma equations, the propagation of electromagnetic waves is modified. In this work is shown that this modification leads to the emergence of a ponderomotive force which induces a magnetization of the plasma. As a result, a cyclotron frequency is induced in electrons. This frequency is proportional to the square of the magnetic charge.
