Abstract

Magnetic-monopole pair production rates are examined for both pointlike and composite ('t Hooft-Polyakov) monopoles. For composite monopoles we obtain updated estimates for the suppression factor F² which shows that F²≈10^-30-10^-150. Composite monopoles are therefore not likely to be produced in man-made accelerators. Alternate sources for composite monopoles are briefly discussed.
