Abstract: In a recent paper, Cho, Kim and Yoon (CKY) have proposed a version of the SU(2) $imes$ U(1) Standard Model with finite-energy monopole and dyon solutions. The CKY model postulates that the effective U(1) gauge coupling $oinfty$ very rapidly as the Englert-Brout-Higgs vacuum expectation value $o0$, but in a way that is incompatible with LHC measurements of the Higgs boson $Hogammagamma$ decay rate. We construct generalizations of the CKY model that are compatible with the $Hogammagamma$ constraint, and calculate the corresponding values of the monopole and dyon masses. We find that the monopole mass could be $<5.5$ TeV, so that it could be pair-produced at the LHC and accessible to the MoEDAL experiment.
