Description

This book is a pedagogical guide on how to make computations in direct dark matter (DM)�detection. The theory behind the calculation of direct detection cross sections and rates is presented, touching aspects related to�elementary particle physics, hadronic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. The book is structured in self-contained sections, covering several topics ranging from the scattering kinematics to the�phenomenology of direct DM searches. It follows a�model-independent approach, aiming at providing the readers with all that is needed to�understand the theory and start their own analysis. Meant for graduate students and researchers with interests in�particle physics and phenomenology,�it is enriched with several worked examples from standard and non-standard particle DM models. Senior researchers working in different areas related to�dark matter, like particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, find in this booka�useful and updated guide for reference.Typham this is the title: The Theory of Direct Dark Matter Detection A Guide to Computations
