Abstract (EN): In this paper we study one-dimensional static self-dual non-topological solitons in an Abelian-Higgs Chern–Simons model with a non-canonical kinetic term. We choose a scalar potential with a single minimum and present an analytical soliton solution which corresponds to an electrically charged lump-like soliton without total momentum and located in a region where the scalar field gets maximum. The solitonic boundary conditions impose a discontinuity on the electric field across the soliton line where, then, there is a linear charge density.
