Abstract

We note the similarity between BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensates) formed of atoms between which we have long-range attraction (and shorter-range repulsions) and the field theoretic ”Q balls”. This allows us in particular to address the stability of various putative particle physics Q balls made of non-relativistic bosons (K⁰’s, B⁰’s and D⁰’s) using variational methods of the many-body NRS equation.

Keywords: Many body, Schrödinger equation, bound states, Q-balls, Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), mesons, Kaons, Quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
