Predicted rates for direct WIMP searches    [PDF]

J. D. Vergados

The differential event rate for direct detection of dark matter, both the
time averaged and the modulated one due to the motion of the Earth, are
discussed. The calculations focus on relatively light cold dark matter
candidates (WIMP) and low energy transfers. It is shown that for some WIMP
masses the modulation amplitude may change sign. This effect can be exploited
to yield information about the mass of the dark matter candidate.
