Description
We explore the possibility that Dark Matter is the lightest hadron made of two stable color octet Dirac fermions $Q$. The cosmological DM abundance is reproduced for $M_Q\approx 9.5$ TeV, compatibly with direct, indirect and collider searches. Hybrid hadrons, made of $Q$ and of SM quarks and gluons, have large QCD cross sections, and do not reach underground detectors. Their cosmological abundance is $10^5$ times smaller than DM, such that their unusual signals seem compatible with bounds.
