A New Possible Way to Explain the DAMA Results
  At present there is an effort to reconcile the results of the DAMA experiment
with those from other Dark Matter experiments such as CoGeNT, CRESST, CDMS, and
all LXe experiments. The author suggests a new model describing the Dark Matter
signal as the result of collisions of very light (1-to-few GeV/c^2) WIMPs with
hydrogen, and compares it with currently accepted models of collisions with
heavy nuclei (Na, Ge or Xe). The hydrogen target would come from
H-contamination of NaI(Tl), Ge and CaWO4 crystals. Initial tuning indicates
that one can explain the modulation amplitude of DAMA and CoGeNT with this
model, assuming a WIMP-proton cross section between 10^33 and 10^32 cm^2. This
paper should be considered to be a new idea which will need substantial new
experimental input from all involved experiments.
