New Directions in Direct Dark Matter Searches | |||||

Abstract |
Direct searches for Dark Matter (DM) aim at detecting the nuclear recoils arising from a scattering between DM particles and target nuclei in underground detectors. Since the physics that describes the collision between DM particles and target nuclei is deeply non-relativistic, in this seminar I’ll review a different and more general approach to study signal in direct DM searches based on non-relativistic operators. Then I’ll present how to write down the main observables as a linear combination of non-relativistic response functions. Finally, I'll conclude by showing that a Dirac DM particle, interacting with ordinary matter via the exchange of a light pseudo-scalar, can accommodate the long-standing DAMA modulated signal while being compatible with all null direct DM searches. |
