Abstract |
I will discuss the phenomenology of a QCD-like dark sector which confines
around the GeV scale. The dark sector inherits a flavour structure from a
coupling between dark quarks and SM quarks via a heavy mediator, which leads to
a rich phenomenology that can show up in many different experiments. While
stable baryonic bound states are the dark matter candidates, experimental
signatrues are dominated by the lightest composite mesons, the dark pions,
which can have decay lengths ranging from millimetres to hundreds of meters. I
will explain the implications of this model for the LHC, dark matter direct
detection, and fixed target experiments. |
