Gravitino dark matter from Q-ball decays
Ian M. Shoemaker, Alexander Kusenko
Affleck-Dine baryogenesis, accompanied by the formation and subsequent decay of Q-balls, can generate both the baryon asymmetry of the universe and dark matter in the form of gravi…
Astrophage of neutron stars from supersymmetric dark matter Q-balls
Ian M. Shoemaker
The gauge-mediated model of supersymmetry breaking implies that stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, could form in the early universe and comprise the dark matter. It is shown…
Properties of Q-ball dark matter: moving away from flat directions
Ian M. Shoemaker
Gauge-mediated models of supersymmetry-breaking imply that stable Q-balls can form in the early universe and act as dark matter. All stable Q-balls in the MSSM are associated with…
Neutrinos from the terrestrial passage of supersymmetric dark matter Q-balls
Alexander Kusenko, Ian M. Shoemaker
Supersymmetry implies that stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, could form in the early universe and could make up all or part of dark matter. We show that the relic Q-balls p…
