It has been argued that the observed core density profile of galaxies is
inconsistent with having a dark matter particle that is collisionless and
alternative dark matter candidates which are self interacting may explain
observations better. One new class of self interacting dark matter that has
been proposed in the context mirror universe models of particle physics is the
mirror hydrogen atom whose stability is guaranteed by the conservation of
mirror baryon number. We show that the effective transport cross section for
mirror hydrogen atoms, has the right order of magnitude for solving the
``cuspy'' halo problem. Furthermore, the suppression of dissipation effects for
mirror atoms due to higher mirror mass scale prevents the mirror halo matter
from collapsing into a disk strengthening the argument for mirror matter as
galactic dark matter.Comment: 6 pages; some references adde
