Double charged heavy constituents of dark atoms and superheavy nuclear objects

We consider the model of composite dark matter assuming stable particles of charge bound with primordial helium nuclei by Coulomb force in He atoms. We study capture of such dark atoms in matter and propose a possibility of existence of stable -enriched superheavy nuclei and -nuclearites, in which heavy -dark matter fermions are bound by electromagnetic forces with ordinary nuclear matter. He atoms accumulation in stars and its possible effect in stellar evolution is also considered, extending the set of indirect probes for composite dark matter.
