It has been suggested that cold dark matter (CDM) has difficulties in explaining tentative evidence for noncuspy halo profiles in small galaxies, and the low velocity dispersions observed in the largest Milky Way satellites ("too big to fail" problem). Strongly self-interacting dark matter has been noted as a robust solution to these problems. The elastic cross sections required are much larger than predicted by generic CDM models, but could naturally be of the right size if dark matter is composite. We explore in a general way the constraints on models where strongly interacting CDM is in the form of dark "atoms" or "molecules," or bound states of a confining gauge interaction ("hadrons"). These constraints include considerations of relic density, direct detection, big bang nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background, and LHC data.

  1. Gauge-Fermion Cartography: from confinement and chiral symmetry breaking to conformality

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A non-perturbative fRG calculation charts confinement and chiral symmetry breaking across flavour number and predicts the conformal window boundary at Nf = 9.60 for Nc = 3.

  2. Dark Astronomy with Dark Matter Detectors

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A proposal to detect the dark photon starlight from dissipative dark matter, with a new directional surface conversion mechanism in metals.

  3. S-matrix bootstrap bounds on self-interacting dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Weakly coupled scalar self-interacting dark matter cannot be heavier than ~0.3 GeV (generic) or ~MeV (derivative-coupled pNGB), much tighter than the 12 GeV unitarity bound.

  4. Sub-GeV dark matter and multi-decay signatures from dark showers at beam-dump experiments

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SHiP could observe multiple displaced vertices per event from dark rho mesons in dark showers, probing dark rho masses up to ~2 GeV and discriminating the model from dark photons.

  5. Composite asymmetric dark matter with a dark photon portal: Multimessenger tests

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Decaying composite dark matter in the 1 to 10 GeV mass range is most strongly constrained by AMS-02 positron data, needing lifetimes above roughly 10^26 seconds.

  6. Noble Dark Matter: Surprising Elusiveness of Dark Baryons

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark baryons made of SU(2)_L multiplet dark quarks are predicted to be dominated by an SU(2)_L singlet state above TeV masses, which strongly suppresses interactions with the Standard Model.
