Mirror dark matter: Cosmology, galaxy structure and direct detection

R Foot - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2014 - World Scientific
A simple way to accommodate dark matter is to postulate the existence of a hidden sector.
That is, a set of new particles and forces interacting with the known particles predominantly …
