WIMP Velocity Impact on Direct Dark Matter Searches
arXiv:hep-ph/9903468 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(99)01048-5
Abstract
We examine the effect of some uncertainties in the input astrophysical parameters on direct detection searches for WIMPs in the Galactic halo. We concentrate on the possible WIMP annual modulation signal recently reported by the DAMA Collaboration. We find that allowing for a reasonable uncertainty in a WIMP Maxwellian velocity distribution leads to significantly relaxed constraints on the WIMP mass as compared to the original DAMA analysis.
