{"arxiv_id":"hep-ph/0406218","title":"Nuclear spin structure in dark matter search: The zero momentum transfer limit","abstract":"We review the calculation of spin-dependent matrix elements relevant to scattering of weakly interacting massive particles on nuclei. A comprehensive list, to our knowledge, of the proton and neutron total spin expectation values ($<{\\bf S}_{p}>$ and $<{\\bf S}_{n}>$) calculated within different nuclear models is presented. These values allow a conclusion about the event rate expected in direct dark matter search experiments due to spin-dependent neutralino-nucleon interaction, provided neutralino is a dark matter particle.","primary_cat":"hep-ph","cross_cats":[],"submitted_at":"2004-06-21T10:55:05+00:00","latest_version":1,"source":"arxiv","source_label":"arXiv","source_url":null,"has_pdf":true,"has_source":false,"verdict":"CONDITIONAL","confidence":"MODERATE","one_line_summary":"A consolidated compilation of proton and neutron spin matrix elements from nine nuclear models, showing that the choice of model changes predicted spin-dependent WIMP scattering rates by factors of two to five.","novelty_score":2.0,"correctness_risk":"low","formal_verification":"none","upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"pith_score":0,"inbound_count":26,"_links":{"html":"https://pith.science/paper/hep-ph/0406218","verdict":"/api/v1/verdicts/hep-ph/0406218"}}
