56 Conclusion dmdm is the first DM model featuring 2 3 direct detection, and hence adds new kinematics to model builder s tool box. Heavy DM candidates fake different light WIMPs at different detectors. New searching strategies will be necessary. Cosmo + Astro sets significant constraints, but large regions of detectable parameter space remain. The bound can be relaxed by the heavylight setup. Many possible applications of the dmdm model can be used for direct detections
