Dark Matter in 3D

JHEP 03 (2016) 149

Proposes a method to extract the local dark matter phase-space distribution from directional detection data, decomposing the distribution function in moments of a model-independent basis and showing that O(1000) events can measure deviations from the Standard Halo Model.

Disentangling Dark Matter Dynamics with Directional Detection

Phys. Rev. D 81 (2010) 096005

Shows how directional dark matter detectors can distinguish between different dark matter scattering dynamics, including elastic, inelastic, and momentum-dependent interactions.
