Phys. Rev. D 82 (2010) 031901
Assesses the prospects for upcoming direct detection experiments to test the inelastic dark matter interpretation of the DAMA signal, identifying the experimental benchmarks needed to confirm or exclude the scenario.
Phys. Rev. D 82 (2010) 055023
Shows that higher-dimensional operators in composite inelastic dark matter introduce parity violation, creating an admixture of inelastic and elastic scattering channels consistent with direct detection experiments even at near-maximal parity violation.
Phys. Rev. D 81 (2010) 096005
Shows how directional dark matter detectors can distinguish between different dark matter scattering dynamics, including elastic, inelastic, and momentum-dependent interactions.
Phys. Lett. B 692 (2010) 323-326
Proposes that the DAMA annual modulation signal arises from hyperfine transitions of composite dark matter, a meson from a QCD-like hidden sector whose spin-spin interactions produce the O(100 keV) mass splitting required for inelastic scattering.
