The velocity peaks in the cold dark matter spectrum on Earth

Astrophysics 2010-11-30 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The cold dark matter spectrum on earth is expected to have peaks in velocity space. We obtain estimates for the sizes and locations of these peaks. To this end we have generalized the secondary infall model of galactic halo formation to include angular momentum of the dark matter particles. This new model is still spherically symmetric and it has self-similar solutions. Our results are relevant to direct dark matter search experiments.
