Density Fluctuations in the Galactic Halo and Experimental Searches for Dark Matter

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Clumping of elementary dark matter in the Galaxy halo may be inevitable. If so, the nondetection of certain dark matter candidates could simply mean that the local halo density is low. Conversely, indirect detection of annihilation products could be facilitated, perhaps to an embarrassing degree.
