The radiative corrections to the spectrum of the bound charge-dyon system are considered in the framework of the self-field QED as well as in the Pauli approximation.
The effective Lagrangian of QED coupled to dyons is calculated. The resulting generalization of the EulerHeisenberg Lagrangian contains nonlinear P-and T-noninvariant terms corresponding to the virtual pair creation of dyons. The corresponding P-and T-violating part of the matrix element for light-by-light scattering is considered. This effect induces an electric dipole moment for the electron, of order M Ϫ2 , where M is the dyon mass. The current limit on the electric dipole moment of the electron yields the lower dyon mass bound M Ͼ1 TeV. ͓S0556-2821͑97͒06109-2͔
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
