Q-balls as Macroscopic Dark Matter

Existing constraints on dark matter allow for macroscopic sized objects, but definite models are rare. The non-topological solitons of certain scalar field theories, called Q-balls, provide a way to produce even Planck mass objects while retaining theoretical predicitivty. I present Q-balls as a simple model for macroscopic dark matter and the novel types of signals that can be used to discover it in experiments.
