Exclusive Dyon Production in High-Energy Collisions

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the exclusive central production of dyons, a particle carrying electric and magnetic charges, in hadronic interactions at LHC energies, assuming the photon fusion mechanism. Motivated by predictions from theoretical physics beyond the Standard Model, we analyze the photoproduction of these particles in the ultraperipheral collision regime, employing the equivalent photon approximation. We estimate the cross-sections for dyons production in spin 0, 1/2, and 1 scenarios, adopting values for electric and magnetic charges from the literature. Our results demonstrate a direct correlation between spin and cross section, predicting a substantially higher probability for the photoproduction of higher-spin dyons.
