TLDR
In this article, the Earth's motion relative to the galactic halo should produce halo-dependent seasonal modulation in the event rate, but it also should produce an angular signal that is both stronger and less ambiguous.About:

Supersymmetric Dark Matter
TL;DR: In this article, the neutralino is proposed as the lightest superpartner in many supersymmetric theories, and it is shown how to calculate the cosmological abundance of neutralino and event rates for both direct and indirect detection schemes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colloquium: Annual modulation of dark matter
TL;DR: A review of the physics of direct detection of dark matter, discussing the roles of both the particle physics and astrophysics in the expected signals, is given in this article, where the authors discuss the practical formulas needed to interpret a modulating signal.

Direct detection of WIMP dark matter: concepts and status
TL;DR: In this article, the concepts of direct detection of dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in ultra-sensitive detectors located in underground laboratories are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct detection of dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the astrophysics and cosmological evidence for nonbaryonic dark matter (DM) and survey the underlying particle theories that provide some guidance about expected event rates, and the future prospects for the discovery of DM.

Motion of the Earth and the detection of weakly interacting massive particles
TL;DR: The angular dependence and the amplitude of the seasonal modulation for an isothermal halo model is calculated and it is shown that Earth's motion relative to the galactic halo produces a seasonal modulation in the expected event rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple galaxy models with massive haloes
TL;DR: The axisymmetric logarithmic potential introduced by Binney as a simple model of a galactic halo has an elementary distribution function depending on the two classical integrals of motion, binding energy E and angular momentum parallel to the symmetry axis L z as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary infall model of galactic halo formation and the spectrum of cold dark matter particles on Earth
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalized the secondary infall model of galactic halo formation to take account of the angular momentum of the dark matter particles and obtained estimates for the velocity magnitudes and the local densities of the particles in these peaks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate detection rates in observationally consistent alternative halo models that produce the same halo contributions to the local and asymptotic rotation speeds to investigate the effects of the theoretical uncertainty of the WIMP spatial and velocity distribution.
