Measurement of the dark matter velocity anisotropy profile in galaxy clusters
Ole Host
Dark matter particles form halos that contribute the major part of the mass of galaxy clusters. The formation of these cosmological structures have been investigated both observati…

The impact of going beyond the Maxwell distribution in direct dark matter detection rates
J. D. Vergados, S. H. Hansen, O. Host
We consider direct dark matter detection rates and investigate the difference between a standard Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution and a "realistic" distribution like the one…

What it takes to measure a fundamental difference between dark matter and baryons: the halo velocity anisotropy
Ole Host, Steen H Hansen
Numerous ongoing experiments aim at detecting WIMP dark matter particles from the galactic halo directly through WIMP-nucleon interactions. Once such a detection is established a c…
