Abstract
Dark matter might reside in a hidden sector which contains an unbroken gauge interaction kinetically mixed with standard . Mirror dark matter provides a well motivated example of such a theory. We show that the DAMA, CoGeNT and CRESST-II experiments can be simultaneously explained within this hidden sector framework. An experiment in the Southern Hemisphere is needed to test this explanation via a diurnal modulation signal.
