Form factor effects in the direct detection of isospin-violating dark matter
Form factor effects in the direct detection of isospin-violating dark matter
Isospin-violating dark matter (IVDM) provides a possible mechanism to ameliorate the tension among recent direct detection experiments. For IVDM, we demonstrate that the results of direct detection experiments based on neutron-rich target nuclei may depend strongly on the density dependence of the symmetry energy which is presently largely unknown and …
