Resumen:
We suggest that dark matter may be partially constituted by a dilute ?t Hooft?Polyakovmonopoles gas. We reach this conclusion by using the Georgi?Glashow model coupled toa dual kinetic mixing term F ? G where F is the electromagnetic field and G the ?t Hooft tensor. We show that these monopoles carry both (Maxwell) electric and (Georgi?Glashow)magnetic charges and the electric charge quantization condition is modified in terms ofa dimensionless real parameter. This parameter could be determined from milli-chargedparticle experiments.
