Baryonic Q-balls as dark matter
Abstract
Description
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Q-balls, some of which can be entirely stable. Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can result in a copious production of stable baryonic Q-balls, which can presently exist as a form of dark matter.
