Tables of results

Speed distributions

In the HighMass and LowMass folders, you will find a number of tabulated speed distributions, calculated taking into account the effects of Earth-scattering. Each file is named as Speeddist_op=[operator]_mx=[A.BC]_gam=[X.YZ]_ps=0.10.dat, where [operator] is either 1, 8 or 12. The results are for a scattering probability of 10%. The value [X.YZ] is the angle gamma in units of pi (so 1.00 is gamma = pi).

The results in the HighMass folder are for a 50 GeV DM particle ([A.BC] = 50.00) while the results in LowMass are for a 0.5 GeV DM particle ([A.BC]=0.50).

Each data file contains 4 columns:

v [km/s] f(v) [s/km] f_A(v) - f(v) [s/km] f_D(v) [s/km]

Here, f(v) is the free (unperturbed) speed distribution, f_A(v) is the speed distribution after attenuation, and f_D(v) is the enhancement due to deflection. The full, perturbed speed distribution is the sum of the last three columns.

Scattering probabilities

In the pscat folder, you will find tables giving the DM-nucleon couplings required for a given average scattering probability. The files are named as couplings_op=[operator]_ps=[prob].dat. As above, [operator] is either 1, 8 or 12. The scattering probability is then [prob] which can be 0.01, 0.10 or 0.50.

Each data file contains 2 columns:

Log10[m_x / GeV] c / GeV^(-2)

Here, m_x is the DM mass and c is the isoscalar DM-nucleon coupling for the operator in question.

Event Rates

In the CRESST-II folder are results for the ratio of the number of events in a CRESST-II-like detector with and without including the effects of Earth-Scattering. The files are named as CRESSTRate_op=[operator]_mx=[A.BC]_ps=[prob].dat. As above, [operator] is either 1, 8 or 12. So far, only the files with [A.BC] = 0.50 and [prob] = 0.10 are included.

Each data file contains 4 columns:

gamma/pi Nfree - NA Nfree + ND Nfree - NA + ND

Here, gamma is the angle of the detector with respect to the DM wind, Nfree is the number of events without Earth-Scattering, NA is the contribution from attenuation and ND the contribution from deflection. The results are normalised such that Nfree = 1.
