Unified Halo-Independent Formalism From Convex Hulls for Direct Dark Matter Searches
Graciela B. Gelmini, Ji-Haeng Huh, Samuel J. Witte
Using the Fenchel-Eggleston theorem for convex hulls (an extension of the Caratheodory theorem), we prove that any likelihood can be maximized by either a dark matter 1- speed dist…
Assessing Compatibility of Direct Detection Data: Halo-Independent Global Likelihood Analyses
Graciela B. Gelmini, Ji-Haeng Huh, Samuel J. Witte
We present two different halo-independent methods to assess the compatibility of several direct dark matter detection data sets for a given dark matter model using a global likelih…
Extended Maximum Likelihood Halo-independent Analysis of Dark Matter Direct Detection Data
Graciela B. Gelmini, Andreea Georgescu, Paolo Gondolo +1
We extend and correct a recently proposed maximum-likelihood halo-independent method to analyze unbinned direct dark matter detection data. Instead of the recoil energy as independ…
Reevaluation of spin-dependent WIMP-proton interactions as an explanation of the DAMA data
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Andreea Georgescu +1
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 a…
Update on the Halo-Independent Comparison of Direct Dark Matter Detection Data
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We briefly review the halo-independent formalism, that allows to compare data from different direct dark matter detection experiments without making assumptions on the properties o…
Direct Detection of Light "Ge-phobic" Exothermic Dark Matter
Graciela B. Gelmini, Andreea Georgescu, Ji-Haeng Huh
We present comparisons of direct dark matter (DM) detection data for light WIMPs with exothermic scattering with nuclei (exoDM), both assuming the Standard Halo Model (SHM) and in…
