Shell-model study on event rates of lightest supersymmetric particles scattering off 83Kr and 125Te
Abstract
We investigate the elastic and inelastic scattering of lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) dark matter
off two possible target nuclei, 83Kr and 125Te. For the nuclear-structure calculations, we employ the nuclear
shell model using recently generated realistic interactions. We have condensed the nuclear-physics
contribution to a set of nuclear-structure factors that are independent of the adopted supersymmetric
(SUSY) model. Total event rates are then easily calculated by combining the nuclear-structure factors with
SUSY parameters of choice. In particular, 125Te shows promise as a detector material with both the elastic
and inelastic channels yielding an appreciable nuclear response.
