Generalized Halo Independent Comparison of Direct Dark Matter Detection Data

Abstract

We extend the halo-independent method to compare direct dark matter detection data, so far used only for spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interactions, to any type of interaction. As an example we apply the method to magnetic moment interactions.
