Little composite dark matter
  We examine the dark matter phenomenology of a composite electroweak singlet
state. This singlet belongs to the Goldstone sector of a well-motivated
extension of the Littlest Higgs with $T$-parity. A viable parameter space,
consistent with the observed dark matter relic abundance as well as with the
various collider, electroweak precision and dark matter direct detection
experimental constraints is found for this scenario. $T$-parity implies a rich
LHC phenomenology, which forms an interesting interplay between conventional
natural SUSY type of signals involving third generation quarks and missing
energy, from stop-like particle production and decay, and composite Higgs type
of signals involving third generation quarks associated with Higgs and
electroweak gauge boson, from vector-like top-partners production and decay.
The composite features of the dark matter phenomenology allows the composite
singlet the produce the correct relic abundance while interacting weakly with
the Higgs via the usual Higgs portal coupling $\lambda_{\text{DM}} \sim
O(1\%)$, thus evading direct detection.
