<table style="height: 336px; width: 533px; text-align: left;" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p>As the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) started reoperation recently, the possibility of finding the Cho-Maison monopole by Prof. Yongmin Cho, Konkuk University (KU) University Professor, is gathering attention from researchers around the globe. (The Cho-Maison monopole was named Prof. Cho and Dr. Dieter Maison (Max-Planck Institute of Germany) who proved its existence through their paper published in 1997.) Below is a summarized excerpt of a recent article covering the Cho-Maison monopole by Donga Science.</p> <p>(Link to original article: <a href="http://www.dongascience.com/sctech/view/817" target="_blank">http://www.dongascience.com/sctech/view/817</a>)</p> </td> <td> <p><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11627266" /></p> <p>Photo: Prof. Yongmin Cho,<br />KU University Professor</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p style="text-align: left;">At the Inter-Academy Seoul Science Forum held on Nov. 11, 2013, a Korean physicist's introduction to his theory brought about a myriad of questions. The physicist responded composedly that only a basic calculation has been conducted so far and that further research would be necessary. During break time, one physicist left the conference room with a doubtful expression; another approached the presenter, commenting that the theory is worth receiving the Nobel Prize. Who could have induced such opposite responses? It was Prof. Yongmin Cho, University Professor at Konkuk University (KU).</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Prof. Cho's presentation covered his representative research conducted in 1997, the Cho-Maison monopole which is an unknown particle yet to be discovered. In contrast with a magnet with both N and S poles, a monopole only has either the N- or the S-pole from the start. This idea was first introduced in 1931 by Paul Dirac, a fundamental contributor to quantum physics and the "godfather" of particle physics. Some scientists presented models thereafter, but the monopole has yet to be discovered.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The Cho-Maison monopole is the most recent of the five theories put forth by scientists as well as the only magnetic monopole that is possible to exist. Some evaluate the magnetic monopole as the true particle that will lead the period "after the Higgs Boson" which CERN had discovered using the LHC in 2012.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11627269" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Source: KU Newsletter (June 2015 Issue)</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Link: <a href="../../Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2015/research01.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.konkuk.ac.kr/Administration/Abroad/newsletter/june2015/research01.jsp</a></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: right;">Posted by Eun Jin Cho</p> <p style="text-align: right;"> </p>
