Dark matter direct detection rate in a generic model with micrOMEGAs2.2

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-18 v2

Abstract

We present a new module of the micrOMEGAs package for the calculation of WIMP-nuclei elastic scattering cross sections relevant for the direct detection of dark matter through its interaction with nuclei in a large detector. With this new module, the computation of the direct detection rate is performed automatically for a generic model of new physics which contains a WIMP candidate. This model needs to be implemented within micrOMEGAs2.1.
