Production of magnetic monopoles and monopolium in peripheral collisions

The exclusive production of magnetic monopoles and the bound states of magnetic monopoles (the monopolium) by the photon fusion is considered in different high energy processes. More specifically, we calculate the total cross sections of the ultraperipheral elastic collisions of electron-electron, proton-proton, and lead-lead in present and future colliders, comparing with the previous results found in the literature. Our results indicate that magnetic monopoles or the bound states, if both exist, can be measurable in future electron-electron colliders.
