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.
JHEP 1006:113 (2010)
Works out the early-universe cosmology of composite inelastic dark matter, including the synthesis of constituent quarks into dark mesons and baryons, finding qualitatively different configurations depending on the mass hierarchy of the hidden sector.
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. 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.
