Q-balls in the MSSM

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In the MSSM with gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking, there may exist unstable but long-lived solitons carrying large baryonic charge, or B-balls. These decay well afterthe electroweak phase transition, giving rise to B-ball baryogenesis. Being made of squarks, B-ball decays produce also LSPs and hence can be the source for all cold dark matter.
