Gauged Fermionic Q-balls

Abstract

We present a new model for a non-topological soliton (NTS) that contains interacting fermions, scalar particles and a gauge field. Using a variational approach, we estimate the energy of the localized configuration, showing that it can be the lowest energy state of the system for a wide range of parameters.
