In this paper, we consider a novel realization of the Dynamical Dark Matter (DDM) framework in which the ensemble of particles which collectively constitute the dark matter are the composite states of a strongly-coupled conformal field theory. Cosmological abundances for these states are then generated through mixing with an additional, elementary state. As a result, the physical fields of the DDM dark sector at low energies are partially composite -- i.e., admixtures of elementary and composite states. Interestingly, we find that the degree of compositeness exhibited by these states varies across the DDM ensemble. We calculate the masses, lifetimes, and abundances of these states -- along with the effective equation of state of the entire ensemble -- by considering the gravity dual of this scenario in which the ensemble constituents are realized as the Kaluza-Klein states associated with a scalar propagating within a slice of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. Surprisingly, we find that the warping of the AdS space gives rise to parameter-space regions in which the decay widths of the dark-sector constituents vary non-monotonically with their masses. We also find that there exists a maximum degree of AdS warping for which a phenomenologically consistent dark-sector ensemble can emerge. Our results therefore suggest the existence of a potentially rich cosmology associated with partially composite DDM.

Peaking consistently in June for nearly eleven years, the annual modulation signal reported by DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA offers strong evidence for the identity of dark matter. DAMAs signal strongly suggest that dark matter inelastically scatters into
an excited state split by O(100 keV). We propose that DAMA is observing hyperfine transitions of a composite dark matter particle. As an example, we consider a meson of a QCD-like sector, built out of constituent fermions whose spin-spin interactions break the degeneracy of the ground state. An axially coupled U(1) gauge boson that mixes kinetically with hypercharge induces inelastic hyperfine transitions of the meson dark matter that can explain the DAMA signal.
We consider Fraternal Twin Higgs models where the twin bottom quark, $b$, is much heavier than the twin confinement scale. In this limit aspects of quark bound states, like the mass and binding energy, can be accurately calculated. We show that in th
is regime, dark matter can be primarily made of twin baryons containing $b b b$ or, when twin hypercharge is gauged, twin atoms, composed of a baryon bound to a twin $tau$ lepton. We find that there are significant regions of parameter space which are allowed by current constraints but within the realm of detection in the near future. The case with twin atoms can alleviate the tension between dark matter properties inferred from dwarf galaxies and clusters.
The asymmetric dark matter (ADM) scenario can solve the coincidence problem between the baryon and the dark matter (DM) abundance when the DM mass is of ${cal O}(1),$GeV. In the ADM scenarios, composite dark matter is particularly motivated, as it ca
n naturally provide the DM mass in the ${cal O}(1),$GeV range and a large annihilation cross section simultaneously. In this paper, we discuss the indirect detection constraints on the composite ADM model. The portal operators connecting the $B-L$ asymmetries in the dark and the Standard Model(SM) sectors are assumed to be generated in association with the seesaw mechanism. In this model, composite dark matter inevitably obtains a tiny Majorana mass which induces a pair-annihilation of ADM at late times. We show that the model can be efficiently tested by the searches for the $gamma$-ray from the dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the interstellar electron/positron flux.
We consider a composite model where both the Higgs and a complex scalar $chi$, which is the dark matter (DM) candidate, arise as light pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs) from a strongly coupled sector with TeV scale confinement. The global symmetr
y structure is $SO(7)/SO(6)$, and the DM is charged under an exact $U(1)_{rm DM} subset SO(6)$ that ensures its stability. Depending on whether the $chi$ shift symmetry is respected or broken by the coupling of the top quark to the strong sector, the DM can be much lighter than the Higgs or have a weak-scale mass. Here we focus primarily on the latter possibility. We introduce the lowest-lying composite resonances and impose calculability of the scalar potential via generalized Weinberg sum rules. Compared to previous analyses of pNGB DM, the computation of the relic density is improved by fully accounting for the effects of the fermionic top partners. This plays a crucial role in relaxing the tension with the current DM direct detection constraints. The spectrum of resonances contains exotic top partners charged under the $U(1)_{rm DM}$, whose LHC phenomenology is analyzed. We identify a region of parameters with $f = 1.4; mathrm{TeV}$ and $200;mathrm{GeV} lesssim m_chi lesssim 400;mathrm{GeV}$ that satisfies all existing bounds. This DM candidate will be tested by XENON1T in the near future.
The asymmetric dark matter (ADM) scenario solves the baryon-dark matter coincidence problem when the dark matter (DM) mass is of $mathcal{O}(1)$GeV. Composite ADM models based on QCD-like strong dynamics are particularly motivated since the strong dy
namics naturally provides the DM mass of $mathcal{O}(1)$GeV and the large annihilation cross-section simultaneously. In those models, the sub-GeV dark photon often plays an essential role in transferring the excessive entropy in the dark sector into the visible sector, i.e., the Standard Model sector. This paper constructs a chiral composite ADM model where the $U(1)_D$ gauge symmetry is embedded into the chiral flavor symmetry. Due to the dynamical breaking of the chiral flavor symmetry, the model naturally provides the masses of the dark photon and the dark pions in the sub-GeV range, both of which play crucial roles for a successful ADM model.
