Directional Dependence and Diurnal Modulation in Dark Matter Detectors
arXiv:1007.0214 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2011.05.005
Abstract
In this paper we study the effect of the channeling of ions recoiling from collisions with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in single crystal detectors. In particular we investigate the possibility that channeling may give rise to diurnal modulations of the counting rate as the Earth rotates relative to the direction of the WIMP wind, and the effect that channeling has on the "quenching factor" of a detector.
