Collisions of non-topological solitons, Q-balls, are studied in a typical potential in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where supersymmetry has been broken by a gravitationally coupled hidden sector. Q-ball collisions are studied numerically on a two dimensional lattice for a range of Q-ball charges. Total cross-sections, as well as cross-sections for fusion and charge-exchange are calculated. The average percentage increase in charge carried by the largest Q-ball after a collision is found to be weakly dependent on the initial charge.

  1. Dynamical flattening of halo density cusps by Q-ball dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Interacting Q-ball dark matter flattens NFW cusps via density-dependent mergers that convert rest mass into escaping relativistic dark-sector particles, preferentially in halo centers.

  2. Oscillons and bubbles in $Q$-ball dynamics

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the thin-wall regime, Q-ball-anti-Q-ball collisions are chaotic, driven by internal bound modes and ephemeral states, with false-vacuum bubbles stabilized by Goldstone modes as key intermediates.
