Several direct detection experiments, including recently CDMS-II, have reported signals consistent with 5 to 10 GeV dark matter (DM) that appear to be in tension with null results from XENON and LUX experiments; these indicate a careful review of the theoretical basis, including the galactic DM velocity distribution function (VDF). We establish a VDF parameter space from DM-only cosmological simulations and illustrate that seemingly contradictory experimental results can be made consistent within this parameter space. Future experimental limits should be reported after they are marginalized over a range of VDF parameters.

Astrophysical Uncertainties in Sub-GeV Dark Matter Detection via Single Phonon Excitations
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter halo models produce O(1% to 100%) fractional deviations in predicted single-phonon rates, but can be captured by parameter variations within the Standard Halo Model after rms...

Constraints on dark matter self-interaction from velocity distribution function in isolated halos
N-body simulations and rotation-curve data constrain the dark matter self-interaction cross-section to σ/m ≤ 2.7 cm²/g at 95% C.L. for Milky Way-scale halos.
