We reinterpret the results of the direct searches for dark matter in terms of composite dark matter, i.e. dark matter particles that form neutral bound states, generically called dark atoms, either with ordinary particles, or with other…

The puzzles of direct dark matter searches can be solved in the scenario of dark atoms, which bind hypothetical, stable, lepton-like particles with charge $-2n$, where $n$ is any natural number, with $n$ nuclei of primordial helium. Avoid…
