Description
Many realistic models for dark matter predict the formation of extremely heavy composite particles in the early universe, with masses well in excess of 10^20 GeV. Today, the fluxes of these particles today would too low to be detectable in direct detection experiments on human timescales. This motivates searches for dark matter signatures in minerals with several billion years. I discuss prior searches and future prospects for detecting dark matter in muscovite mica.
