Abstract
The prediction of the existence of supermassive magnetic monopoles1,2 in grand unification theories (GUTs),3,4 and of the copious production of these monopoles in the early universe,5 have led to a revived interest in the theory of the electromagnetic interactions of moving magnetic monopoles with matter. In particular, there is great interest in the rate at which monopoles lose energy in various types of astrophysical objects such as the earth and sun so that a determination of the likelihood of primordial monopoles being trapped by these objects can be made. There is even greater interest in the question of whether or not the quantity and quality of energy lost by magnetic monopoles in conventional types of particle detectors is adequate for their detection. In the pre-GUT era (roughly prior to 1979), there was little doubt about the answers to such questions. The monopole mass was expected to be sufficiently small so that acceleration of the monopoles to relativistic velocities by the Galactic magnetic fields was thought to be inevitable.
