Abstract
Undertaking the study of behaviour of a spin-in monopole moving in the fiel d of mother monopole, Dirac's equation has been solved for energy eigen val ues and the Hamiltonian of this system has been shown to involve spin contr ibution. Spin momentum of a monopole has been shown to behave as extra ener gy source for monopoles interacting with electromagnetic field. Interaction of spin and orbital moments of a monopole moving in the electromagnetic fi eld has been analysed. S-matrix expansion, scattering amplitude and total H amiltonian for monopole-anti-monopole scattering has also been undertaken. Study of bound state of a monopole and an anti-monopole has been carried ou t and it has been shown that this state is very short lived and decays in t o two or three photons depending on the spin-statistics of the monopoles in volved.
