Understand

We investigate the interactions of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with nuclei in the human body.

We are motivated by the fact that WIMPs are excellent candidates for the dark matter in the Universe.
Our estimates use a 70 kg human and a variety of WIMP masses and cross-sections.
The contributions from individual elements in the body are presented and it is found that the dominant contribution is from scattering off of oxygen (hydrogen) nuclei for the spin-independent (spin-dependent) interactions.
