Impact of Q-balls formed by first-order phase transition on sterile neutrino dark matter

Abstract We explore the mechanism that can explain the production of lepton asymmetry and two types of sterile neutrino dark matter. The first type involves heavy sterile dark matter produced directly by the decay of Q-balls which are formed by first-order phase transition in the early universe; the...
