Dark matter models with uniquely spin-dependent detection possibilities

M Freytsis, Z Ligeti - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
With much higher sensitivities due to coherence effects, it is often assumed that the first
evidence for direct dark matter detection will come from experiments probing spin …

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections from the XENON10 experiment
