Supersymmetric Q-balls as dark matter

arXiv:hep-ph/9709492 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01375-0

Abstract

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.
