Abstract
We briefly review the halo-independent formalism, that allows to compare data from different direct dark matter detection experiments without making assumptions on the properties of the dark matter halo. We apply this method to spin-independent WIMP-nuclei interactions, for both isospin-conserving and isospin-violating couplings, updating the existing analyses with the addition of the SuperCDMS bound. We point out that this method can be applied to any type of WIMP interaction.
