Abstract
We consider explicit models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking where dark matter is
a 10 – 100 TeV strongly-interacting composite state carrying no standard model quantum
numbers. These constructions are simple variants of well-known supersymmetry breaking
mechanisms, augmented to allow for a large “flavor” symmetry. Dark matter is the lightest
composite modulus charged under this symmetry and is a viable cold dark matter candidate
with a thermal relic abundance. This is an attractive possibility in low-scale gauge-mediated
scenarios where the gravitino is the lightest superparticle. A light R-axion associated with
supersymmetry breaking is present in these hidden sectors and serves as the portal between
dark matter and the standard model. Such scenarios are relevant for present and future
indirect detection experiments.
