Description

A new generation of Direct Detection Experiments are now running, and with an ever increasing number of Dark Matter particle models, it is important to interpret new data agnostically. The Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory approach is particularly well suited to this task, and encapsulates behaviour of elastic scattering in DD Experiments in a very general way. In this talk I will look at recent efforts to distinguish just how much information about the particle nature of DM we can glean from DD experiments.
