Description
Oscillons are localized, massive, long-lived and oscillating classical field configurations that arise in scalar field theories with attractive self-interactions. Focusing on axion models arising from string theory, we find that oscillons can be formed generically with extremely large lifetimes. I will discuss the phenomenological impact of these oscillons in dark matter.
