Q-ball formation in Affleck–Dine baryogenesis with gravity-mediated SUSY breaking Original Research Article

To date, the properties of Q-balls arising from an Affleck–Dine condensate in gravity-mediated SUSY breaking have been obtained primarily through numerical simulations. In this work, we will derive the expected charge of the Q-balls formed in such a scenario through an analytical treatment. We will also examine the numerically observed difference between Q-ball formation in weakly charged condensates and formation in strongly charged condensates.
