Excited Q-Balls
Yahya Almumin, Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman +1
Complex scalars in U(1)-symmetric potentials can form stable Q-balls, non-topological solitons that correspond to spherical bound-state solutions. If the U(1) charge of the Q-ball…
Twin Quark Dark Matter From Cogenesis
Can Kilic, Christopher B. Verhaaren, Taewook Youn
We extend the fraternal twin Higgs scenario to include a novel dark matter candidate as well as a mechanism for generating a matter/antimatter asymmetry in both sectors. A spontane…
Proca Q-balls and Q-shells
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Rebecca Riley +1
Non-topological solitons such as Q-balls and Q-shells have been studied for scalar fields invariant under global and gauged U(1) symmetries. We generalize this framework to include…
The Ubiquity of Gauged Q-Shells
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Christopher B. Verhaaren
Non-topological gauged soliton solutions called Q-balls arise in many scalar field theories that are invariant under a U(1) gauge symmetry. The related, but qualitatively distinct,…
Mapping Gauged Q-Balls
Julian Heeck, Arvind Rajaraman, Rebecca Riley +1
Scalar field theories with particular U(1)-symmetric potentials contain non-topological soliton solutions called Q-balls. Promoting the U(1) to a gauge symmetry leads to the more c…
