Abstract

We develop a semiclassical method to calculate the density of magnetic monopoles in non-abelian gauge theories at finite temperature in the dilute gas approximation. This quantity is related to the inverse magnetic screening length for which we obtain μM=0.255g2T\mu_M = 0.255 g^2T in SU(2).
