Electroweak models with low-energy supersymmetry breaking predict the existence of stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls, that can be produced in the early universe. The relic Q-balls can accumulate inside a neutron star and gradually absorb the baryons into the scalar condensate. This causes a slow reduction in the mass of the star. When the mass reaches a critical value, the neutron star becomes unstable and explodes. The cataclysmic destruction of the distant neutron stars may be the origin of the gamma-ray bursts.

  1. Q-balls Under Spontaneously Broken U(1) Symmetry

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Q-balls under spontaneously broken U(1) can leak charge through the Nambu-Goldstone channel and end as smaller Q-balls, oscillons, or decaying configurations, with stable remnants for small symmetry-breaking scales.
