Supersymmetric Q-balls: theory and cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
MSSM predicts the existence of Q-balls, some of which can be entirely stable. Both stable and unstable Q-balls can play an important role in cosmology. In particular, Affleck–Dine baryogenesis can result in a copious production of stable baryonic Q-balls, which can presently exist as a form of dark matter.

F-Term Inflation Q-Balls
A general analysis of Q-ball solutions of the supersymmetric F-term hybrid inflation field equations is given. The solutions consist of a complex inflaton field and a real symmetry breaking field, with a conserved global charge associated with the inflaton. It is shown that the Q-ball solutions for any value of the superpotential coupling, κ, may be obtained from those with κ = 1 by rescaling t...

متن کاملSupersymmetric Q-balls as dark matter
Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model generically contain stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, which carry baryon or lepton number. We show that large Q-balls can be copiously produced in the early universe, can survive until the present time, and can contribute to dark matter.

متن کاملProperties and signatures of supersymmetric Q-balls
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Q-balls with baryon and lepton numbers. Stable Q-balls can form at the end of inflation from the fragmentation of the Affleck–Dine condensate and can exist as dark matter. The best current limits come from Super-Kamiokande and MACRO. The search beyond these limits can be conducted using the future water Cherenkov detectors.
