Electroweak-symmetric dark monopoles from preheating

Electroweak-symmetric dark monopoles from preheating

Abstract If the dark sector contains ’t Hooft-Polyakov monopoles and a small enough dark gauge coupling, dark monopoles could be a macroscopic dark matter candidate. Its Higgs-portal coupling to the Standard Model can modify the electroweak vacuum in the monopole interior. In the most striking cases...
