Extracting Dark Matter Properties Model-Independently from Direct Detection Experiments
arXiv:1003.0962 · doi:10.1142/S0217732310000101
Abstract
In this article I review model-independent procedures for extracting properties of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) from direct Dark Matter detection experiments. Neither prior knowledge about the velocity distribution function of halo Dark Matter particles nor about their mass or cross sections on target nucleus is needed. The unique required information is measured recoil energies from experiments with different detector materials.
