More on Q-Balls
#11
Well nature offers us lots of options for potential Q-ball composition.
First of all the particles from which our q-balls have to be bosons, particles that have integer spin, we have plenty of those. However for them to form some sort of matter they have to be charged. Therefore we must rule most of elementary bosons out except for W- and W+.
These particles have half-life of 3×10^−25 s so these are going to be hard to use.
But then there are composite bosons and we have those in spades, from simple pions to helium-4.
For example pions have life time of 2.6×10^−8s, which is much more reasonable than W bosons.
However fact that we need bosons with charge means that we have to rule some of them out.
Pions with their lifetime, mass and charge seem to be good choice for constructing some sort of
Q-ball matter.

As to its properties I honestly can not tell. However I think that wouldn’t have as much strength compared to magmatter because of its much lower density. In fact it is possible that its density would be lower than that of normal matter.
