[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/JelleAalbers/wimprates.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/JelleAalbers/wimprates)
Installation and usage
Clone the repository and cd into its directory
pip install -e .
[See this basic example for usage.](https://github.com/JelleAalbers/wimprates/blob/master/notebooks/Example.ipynb)
The package uses numericalunits (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numericalunits); all function inputs are expected to have proper units.
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).

To cite wimprates itself, we will soon add a zenodo DOI link.
