Velocity Impact on Direct Dark Matter Searches
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...

متن کاملHalo Density Profiles Consistent with Asymmetric M-b Velocity Distributions-implications on Direct Dark Matter Searches
In the present paper we obtain the WIMP velocity distribution in our vicinity starting from spherically symmetric WIMP density profiles in a self consistent way by employing the Eddington approach. By adding a reasonable angular momentum dependent term in the expression of the energy, we obtain axially symmetric WIMP velocity distributions as well. We find that some density profiles lead to app...
متن کاملDirect detection of galactic halo dark matter.
The Milky Way galaxy contains a large, spherical component which is believed to harbor a substantial amount of unseen matter. Recent observations indirectly suggest that as much as half of this "dark matter" may be in the form of old, very cool white dwarfs, the remnants of an ancient population of stars as old as the galaxy itself. We conducted a survey to find faint, cool white dwarfs with la...
متن کاملDirect Detection of Cold Dark Matter
We know from cosmological and astrophysical observations that more than 80% of the matter density in the Universe is non-luminous, or dark. This non-baryonic dark matter could be composed of neutral, heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or ’cold’, when they decoupled from ordinary matter. I will review the direct detection methods of these hypothetical particles via their interactions ...
