Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I have no formal degree or education in physics of any type, but I'm very interested in physics and only know what I've researched on my own. I know that magnetic monopoles are not supposed to exist, although I did read of some experiments that yielded monopoles under unpractical circumstances. Anyway, I was watching a video about the LHC and how they strip electrons from the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, leaving the proton, so most of you know since the proton is positively charged it can be accelerated by electromagnets blah, blah, blah. In this case would the proton effectively be a monopole? I don't know anything about quantum physics so please hit me with as much information as possible :)
thanks,
