Using the energy spectrum measured by DAMA/LIBRA to probe light dark matter
Using the energy spectrum measured by DAMA/LIBRA to probe light dark matter
A weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) weighing only a few GeV has been invoked as an explanation for the signal from the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. We show that the data from DAMA/LIBRA are now powerful enough to strongly constrain the properties of any putative WIMP. Accounting for the detailed recoil spectrum, …
