Neutrinos from the terrestrial passage of supersymmetric dark matter Q-balls

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 passing through Earth can produce a detectable neutrino flux. The peculiar zenith angle dependence and a small annual modulation of this flux can be used as signatures of dark-matter Q-balls.
