Introduction to the Vorton theory of David Fryberger and how this leads to New Physics
Mike Sullivan · 2015
The discovery of three quark and lepton generations of fundamental Standard Model particles has led to a great deal of speculation about some form of sub-structure for these particles. Here we present an idea about sub-structure that emanates directly from symmetrized Maxwell’s equations which include magnetic charge. The premise stems from the discovery of another solution to Maxwell’s equations that is stationary and can carry both electric and magnetic charge. This solution (called a vorton) like the photon has no scale and hence in a (mostly) magnetically charged manifestation can be used to construct the presently known Standard Model fermions. I will present some of the details of the vorton model and how it can be used to build the known Standard Model fermions. This model also predicts the existence of magnetically charged counterparts to the standard fermions. These magnetically charged particles would have only 1e strength of magnetic charge. In particular, there should be a stable magnetically charged electron counterpart which we have called a magneticon. We believe the High Energy Physics field has not been looking for these possible particles and that we may have been creating these particles for some time without knowing it. We are currently trying to see whether the available BaBar dataset contains some magneticons. Any e+e- collider should try to look for these magnetically charged particles.
