On the distribution of collisionless particles in local potential well

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The distribution of collisionless particles with infinite motion in the presence of a local potential well is discussed. Such distribution is important for interpretation of results of dark matter searches. The relationship n/v=const, where n and v are respectively number density and velocity of particles, is derived for particles crossing a local potential well. The limits of application of this relationship are specified.
