Understand

Direct detection experiments search for the interactions of Dark Matter (DM) particles with nuclei in terrestrial detectors.

But if these interactions are sufficiently strong, DM particles may scatter in the Earth, affecting their distribution in the lab.
We present a new analytic calculation of this `Earth-scattering' effect in the regime where DM particles scatter at most once before reaching the detector.
We perform the calculation self-consistently, taking into account not only those particles which are scattered away from the detector, but also those particles which are deflected towards the detector.
