Charge-swapping q balls (2014)
Journal Article
Copeland, E. J., Saffin, P. M., & Zhou, S. Y. (2014). Charge-swapping q balls. Physical Review Letters, 113(23), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.231603

© 2014 American Physical Society. Q balls are nontopological solitonic solutions to a wide class of field theories that possess global symmetries. Here we show that in these same theories there also exists a tower of novel composite Q-ball solutions... Read More about Charge-swapping q balls.

Oscillon lifetime in the presence of quantum fluctuations (2014)
Journal Article
Saffin, P. M., Tognarelli, P., & Tranberg, A. (2014). Oscillon lifetime in the presence of quantum fluctuations. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014(8), Article 125. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP08%282014%29125

We consider the stability of oscillons in 2+1 space-time dimensions, in the presence of quantum fluctuations. Taking the oscillon to be the inhomogeneous mean field of a self-interacting quantum scalar field, we compare its classical evolution to the...
