Annual modulations of the angular recoil-flux/energy distributions of WIMP-scattered target nuclei observed at an underground laboratory

TL;DR

This paper compares the annual modulations in angular recoil-flux and energy distributions of WIMP-scattered nuclei across different underground labs, highlighting target and WIMP-mass dependencies with simulation tools.

Contribution

It introduces a comparative analysis of annual modulation patterns in WIMP detection signals considering various targets and WIMP masses, supported by interactive simulation resources.

Findings

Modulation patterns depend on target nuclei and WIMP mass.

Simulation plots illustrate these dependencies across labs.

Abstract

In this article, we compare the target and WIMP-mass dependent "annual modulations" of the angular distributions of the recoil flux and energy of WIMP-scattered target nuclei observed at different underground laboratories. For readers' reference, simulation plots with different WIMP masses and frequently used target nuclei for all functionable underground laboratories can be found and downloaded on our online (interactive) demonstration webpage (http://www.tir.tw/phys/hep/dm/amidas-2d/).
