Direct detection experiments explained with mirror dark matter

Understand

Recently, the CDMS/Si experiment has observed a low energy excess of events in their dark matter search.

• In light of this new result we update the mirror dark matter explanation of the direction detection experiments.
• We find that the DAMA, CoGeNT, CRESST-II and CDMS/Si data can be simultaneously explained by halo $\sim Fe'$ interactions provided that $v_{rot} \approx 200$ km/s.
• Other parameter space is also possible.
