Description
The gauge bosons of a hidden U(1) sector seems to be one of the simplest extensions of the standard model. However, if this hidden sector includes magnetic charges a host of novel phenomena result. These include new dark matter possibilities with distinctly new way to detect them. I give an overview of some of the phenomena and theoretical understanding that hidden magnetic monopoles provide.
