Signatures of Supersymmetric Q-Balls

Abstract

In many supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model the spectrum of states contains stable non-topological solitons, Q-balls. If formed in the Early Universe in sufficient amounts, Q-balls now contribute to cold dark matter. We discuss their experimental signatures and astrophysical implications.
