Differential rates of WIMP-nucleus scattering

Project description

wimprates

Differential rates of WIMP-nucleus scattering in the standard halo model, primarily for xenon detectors.

https://github.com/JelleAalbers/wimprates

DOI Test package Coverage Status

Installation and usage

The package uses numericalunits (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numericalunits); all function inputs are expected to have proper units (except for the rate_wimp_std convenience function).

Features

  • Spin-indendent and spin-dependent DM-nucleus scattering;
  • Elastic NR, bremsstrahlung, and Migdal effect detection mechanisms;
  • Time dependent observed dark matter speed distribution (annual modulation only, no daily modulation);
  • DM-electron scattering (experimental);
  • Support for xenon (all models, default), argon, germanium, and silicon (many models).
