Extracting information about WIMP properties from direct detection experiments: astrophysical uncertainties

arXiv:1004.2383

Abstract

WIMP direct detection experiments probe the ultra-local dark matter density and velocity distribution. We review how uncertainties in these quantities affect the accuracy with which the WIMP mass and cross-section can be constrained or determined.
