Extending the DAMA annual-modulation region by inclusion of the uncertainties in astrophysical velocities
Extending the DAMA annual-modulation region by inclusion of the uncertainties in astrophysical velocities
The original annual-modulation region, singled out by the DAMA-NaI experiment for direct detection of WIMPs, is extended by taking into account the uncertainties in the galactic astrophysical velocities. Also the effect due to a possible bulk rotation for the dark matter halo is considered. We find that the range for …
