Understand

Uncertainty in the local dark matter velocity distribution is a key difficulty in the analysis of data from direct detection experiments.

Here we propose a new approach for dealing with this uncertainty, which does not involve any assumptions about the structure of the dark matter halo.
Given a dark matter model, our method yields the velocity distribution which best describes a set of direct detection data as a finite sum of streams with optimised speeds and densities.
The method is conceptually simple and numerically very efficient.
