Abstract :
[en] Hydrogen-like dark atoms interact with standard matter because of two mixings, a kinetic
mixing between standard photons and dark massless photons and a mass mixing of sigma mesons and dark scalars. After having thermalized in terrestrial matter, they reach underground detectors with thermal energies and form bound states with atoms in the active media, which causes the emission of photons that produce the observed signals. The model explains well the positive results from DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT without any contradiction with the null results from XENON100, LUX, CDMS-II/Ge and superCDMS.
