Dark atoms and composite dark matter
arXiv:2108.10314 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhysLectNotes.52
Abstract
I selectively review the theoretical properties and observational limits pertaining to dark atoms, as well as composite dark matter candidates bound by a confining gauge interaction: dark glueballs, glueballinos, mesons and baryons. Emphasis is given to cosmological, direct and indirect detection constraints.
