Halo-independent comparison of direct dark matter detection data: a review

Understand

We review the halo-independent formalism, that allows to compare data from different direct dark matter detection experiments without making assumptions on the properties of the dark matter halo.

• We apply this method to spin-independent WIMP-nuclei interactions, for both isospin-conserving and isospin-violating couplings, and to WIMPs interacting through an anomalous magnetic moment.
