Addressing theoretical uncertainties in direct dark matter searches

by Prof. Alejandro Ibarra (Technical University of Munich)

Abstract: 

The theoretical interpretation of direct detection experiments is subject to our ignorance of the local dark matter density and velocity distribution, as well as our ignorance of the nature and strength of the dark matter-nucleon interaction. In this talk we discuss the impact of these uncertainties on the search for dark matter, and some ideas to interpret the outcome of direct detection experiments in a model independent manner.
