Description
Fermionic dark matter could arise from a strongly interacting dark sector. Dark quarks are bound into neutral composite dark baryons, which can be probed by direct detection experiments through a magnetic dipole interaction. We consider theories where the strong interaction consists of $N_{c}$ colors, where $N_{c}$ is odd and large, and place bounds on the parameter space of the theory using direct detection and cosmological constraints.
