Description
We consider QCD-like, composite models of dark matter and investigate what role nuclear physics may play in the dark sector. We compute the multi-particle spectrum of SU(N_c=2) gauge theory with two fundamental fermions, finding strong evidence for the existence of bound multi-hadron systems (nuclei) in this theory. We briefly discuss the rich phenomenological consequences of such strong interaction dynamics.
