  We discuss a supersymmetric model for cogenesis of dark and baryonic matter
where the dark matter (DM) has mass in the 8-10 GeV range as indicated by
several direct detection searches including most recently the CDMS experiment
with the desired cross section. The DM candidate is a real scalar filed. Two
key distinguishing features of the model are the following: (i) in contrast
with the conventional WIMP dark matter scenarios where thermal freeze-out is
responsible for the observed relic density, our model uses non-thermal
production of dark matter after reheating of the universe caused by moduli
decay at temperatures below the QCD phase transition, a feature which
alleviates the relic over-abundance problem caused by small annihilation cross
section of light DM particles; (ii) baryogenesis occurs also at similar low
temperatures from the decay of TeV scale mediator particles arising from moduli
decay. A possible test of this model is the existence of colored particles with
TeV masses accessible at the LHC.
