Abstract

We study the primordial black hole (PBH) formation from Q-balls that are non-topological solitons in scalar field theories. We develop a formula for calculating the density perturbations from the Q-ball charge distribution. We also re-examine the condition for the PBH formation in the matter-dominated era and show that the previously derived formula for super-horizon density fluctuations can be applied to the sub-horizon density perturbations. As an example, we consider the Q-balls in the case of gauge-mediated supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, whose charge distribution was obtained by the lattice simulation. We find that the density perturbations are large enough to produce a significant number of PBHs with mass 1015M5×1012M10^{-15}\,M_\odot -5\times 10^{-12}\, M_\odot, which can explain all the dark matter in the universe. In the context of supersymmetry, this mass range corresponds to the SUSY breaking scale 106\sim 10^6 GeV, which is consistent with the SUSY particle masses 10\sim 10 TeV.
