Abstract

We present exact solutions to the Cho–Maison magnetic monopole in a family of effective electroweak models that have a Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield limit. We find that the lower bound to the mass of the magnetic monopole is $M \geq 2\pi v/ g \approx 2.37\,\,\mathrm{TeV}$. We argue that this bound holds universally, not just in theories with a BPS limit.
