Findings
Calculated DM-nucleus cross sections for simple models
Generalized effective interactions for spin-1/2 dark matter
Discussed the role of chiral and nuclear effective operators
Abstract
Les Houches 2021 lectures on dark matter effective field theory (short course). The aim of these two lectures is to calculate the DM-nucleus cross section for a simple example, and then generalize to the treatment of general effective interactions of spin-1/2 DM. Relativistic local operators, the heavy-DM effective theory, the chiral effective Lagrangian, and nuclear effective operators are briefly discussed.
