Reevaluation of spin-dependent WIMP-proton interactions as an explanation of the DAMA data
arXiv:1502.07682 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2015/08/046
Abstract
We reexamine the interpretation of the annual modulation signal observed by the DAMA experiment as due to WIMPs with a spin-dependent coupling mostly to protons. We consider both axial-vector and pseudo-scalar couplings, and elastic as well as endothermic and exothermic inelastic scattering. We conclude that the DAMA signal is in strong tension with null results of other direct detection experiments, particularly PICASSO and KIMS.
