. DM local density around us: 0.32(0.02)* GeV/cm3 *inclusion of new LAMOST survey data, arXiv:1604.01216 . The solar system is cycling the center of galaxy with on average 220 km/s speed (annual modulation in earth movement)
3 WIMP, the miracle, and detectability
BSM new Relic physics density
WIMP direct detection: WIMPatomic nucleus in the detector, and detect its recoil (Goodman & Witten, 1985) • Nuclear recoil (NR): recoiling energy ~10 keV • Electron recoil (ER): background (WIMP ER signals’ energy hugely suppressed) 4 Elastic recoil spectrum
. Energy threshold mass DM . SI: coherent scattering on all nucleons (A2 Ge Xe enhancement) . Note, spin-dependent Si effect can be viewed as scattering with outer unpaired nucleon. No luxury of A2 enhancement Gaitskell, Annu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci. 2004
5 Neutrino “floor” Goodman & Witten
Ideas do exist Phys. Rev. D 90, 083510 (2014) how to go beyond this “floor” (directional, annual modulation, etc), but the pragmatic issue is still how to get there 6 Available hiding space for DM

7 A “dark matter rush”
8 Background: external
. Cosmogenic background hugely suppressed in underground labs . Remaining external background (gamma, neutrons, and cosmics) can be shielded or vetoed
DarkSide active veto in LNGS
PandaX passive shield in CJPL-I 9 Background: internal
. Detector components (gammas/neutrons) Cluster @ boundary Multi-site Low energy scatter deep in target without high E scattering in outskirt further suppressed! “self-shielding” if reconstruct vertex power of monolithic large detector . (Uniform) background in target, e.g. Rn, Kr . Crucial: further ways to suppress ER background (light/charge ratio, pulse shape, etc …) 10 Detection technologies* CDMSlite Phonons: ~10 meV/ph Electron recoil: background Nuclear recoil: signal
