Abstract
Magnetic monopoles—hypothetical particles with single magnetic poles—challenge electromagnetic theories by suggesting electricity-magnetism symmetry. First integrated into quantum mechanics by Dirac and later supported by ’t Hooft and Polyakov
in grand unified theories, they evolved with Cho and Maison’s electroweak monopole potentially producible in modern colliders due to its TeV-range mass. Our research expands previous work by examining half-integer topological charge for 𝑛 ≥ 1 with
electric charge parameter 𝜂, introducing a new type of half-dyon carrying negative magnetic charge. We study generalized axially symmetric half-dyon solutions in SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) theory with two distinct types: Type I (positive magnetic
charge along negative 𝑧-axis) and Type II (negative magnetic charge along positive 𝑧-axis).
