Magnetic photon

In physics, amagnetic photonis ahypothetical particle.It is a mixture of even and odd C-parity states and, unlike the normalphoton,does not couple toleptons.It is predicted by certain extensions ofelectromagnetismto includemagnetic monopoles.There is no experimental evidence for the existence of this particle, and several versions^[1]have been ruled out by negative experiments.^[2]

The magnetic photon was predicted in 1966 by Nobel laureateAbdus Salam.^[3]
