Refinement of the standard halo model for dark matter searches in light of the Gaia Sausage

NW Evans, CAJ O'Hare, C McCabe - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
Predicting signals in experiments to directly detect dark matter (DM) requires a form for the
local DM velocity distribution. Hitherto, the standard halo model (SHM), in which velocities …
