Description

A number of theories for dark matter predict the formation of massive composite states in the early universe. Discovering dark matter with a unit mass in excess of a microgram requires methods beyond traditional underground experiments. I will discuss the most trenchant past searches for high mass composites, including mica and plastic etch detectors, along with future prospects.
