“…Many experiments involving a variety of nuclei have been set up or are being planned. Detectors made of heavy nuclei (for example Germanium or Xenon) currently in operation include Edelweiss [15], DAMA [16], CDMS [17], Xenon [18], Zeplin [20], Warp [21] and KIMS [22]. Upgrades and new projects such as Genius, Xmass [23], CLEAN [24], ArDM [25] and Eureca [26] have been proposed as well.…”

We present a new module of the micrOMEGAs package for the calculation of WIMP-nuclei elastic scattering cross sections relevant for the direct detection of dark matter through its interaction with nuclei in a large detector. With this new module, the computation of the direct detection rate is performed automatically for a generic model of new physics which contains a WIMP candidate. This model needs to be implemented within micrOMEGAs 2.2.1 Here we use χ to designate the DM candidate whether a fermion, scalar or vector boson.

“…On the other hand, spin-dependent interactions are for the nuclei with unpaired nucleon that gives rise to non-zero ground state spin. The experiments such as Edelweiss [41], DAMA/NaI , CDMS SuperCDMS [42], Xenon10 [36], Xenon100 [37], Zeplin [43,44], KIMS [45], CoGeNT [46] are using detectors made of heavy nuclei (Ge or Xe) to search scalar interactions. On the other hand, NAIAD [47], SIMPLE [48], PICASSO, Tokyo/NaF [49] are using light nuclei to detect spin-dependent case.…”

We consider the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), neutralino in minimal anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking model (mAMSB) to be a possible candidate for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) or cold dark matter and investigate its direct and indirect detections. The theoretically allowed supersymmetric parametric space for such a model along with the recent bounds from LHC is constrained by the WMAP results for relic densities. The spin independent and spin dependent scattering cross sections for dark matter off nucleon are thus constrained from the WMAP results. They are found to be within the allowed regions of different ongoing direct detection experiments. The annihilation of such dark matter candidates at the galactic centre produce different standard model particles such as gamma rays, neutrinos etc. In this work, we calculate the possible fluxes of these γ-rays and neutrinos coming from the direction of the galactic centre (and its neighbourhood) at terrestrial or satellite borne detectors. The calcutated γ-ray flux is compared with the observational results of HESS experiment. The neutrino flux of different flavours from the galactic centre and at different locations away from the galactic centre produced by WIMP annihilation in this model are also obtained for four types of galactic dark matter halo profiles. The detection prospects of such ν µ coming from the direction of the galactic centre at the ANTARES under sea detector are discussed in terms of muon signal yield from these muon neutrinos. Both the gamma and neutrino signals are estimated for four different dark matter halo profiles.

“…Direct detection experiments such as Edelweiss [16], DAMA [17], CDMS [18,20], Xenon [19,21], Zeplin [22] or Cogent [23] measure the recoil energy of the nuclei that would result from an elastic DM -nucleus collision in a large detector. To reduce the cosmic rays background such detectors are located deep underground.…”

Despite several indirect confirmations of the existence of dark matter, the properties of a new dark matter particle are still largely unknown. Several experiments are currently searching for this particle underground in direct detection, in space and on earth in indirect detection and at the LHC. A confirmed signal could select a model for dark matter among the many extensions of the standard model. In this paper we present a short review of the public codes for computation of dark matter observables.
