摘要：

Mirror matter is a stable self-collisional dark matter candidate. If exact mirror parity is a conserved symmetry of nature, there could exist a parallel hidden (mirror) sector of the Universe which has the same kind of particles and the same physical laws of our (visible) sector. The two sectors interact each other predominantly via gravity, therefore mirror matter is naturally "dark". Here I briefly review the cosmological signatures of mirror dark matter, as Big Bang nucleosynthesis, primordial structure formation and evolution, cosmic microwave background and large scale structure power spectra, together with its compatibility with the interpretation of the DAMA annual modulation signal in terms of photon-mirror-photon kinetic mixing. Summarizing the present status of research and comparing theoretical results with observations/experiments, it emerges that mirror matter is not just a viable, but a promising dark matter candidate.
