One needs positive signatures for detection of Dark Matter

Abstract

One believes there is huge amount of Dark Matter particles in our Galaxy which manifest themselves only gravitationally. There is a big challenge to prove their existence in a laboratory experiment. To this end it is not sufficient to fight only for the best exclusion curve, one has to see an annual recoil spectrum modulation --- the only available positive direct dark matter detection signature. A necessity to measure the recoil spectra is stressed.
