摘要:

对太阳邻域内暗物质的相空间分布进行稳健的预测对于暗物质直接探测实验至关重要。到目前为止,几乎所有这样的预测都是基于对暗物质单独建模的模拟。在这里,我们使用三个宇宙学流体动力学模拟明亮,盘占主导地位的星系,包括重子物质的影响自洽的第一次。我们发现,重子物理的加入大大改变了太阳附近的暗物质的轮廓。一个恒星/气体盘,已经在高红移的位置,导致合并的卫星优先被拖向盘平面,在那里它们被潮汐撕裂。这导致了一个吸积的暗物质盘,它贡献了太阳位置非旋转晕密度的0.25 - 1.5倍。与暗物质流不同,暗盘是一种平衡结构,必须存在于形成于等级宇宙学中的盘状星系中。它相对于地球的低旋转滞后显著增强了地球和太阳对WIMP的捕获,增强了年度调制信号,并导致通量随反冲能的变化,从而确定WIMP质量。

英文摘要:

Making robust predictions for the phase space distribution of dark matter at the solar neighbourhood is vital for dark matter direct detection experiments. To date, almost all such predictions have been based on simulations that model the dark matter alone. Here, we use three cosmological hydrodynamics simulations of bright, disc dominated galaxies to include the effects of baryonic matter self-consistently for the first time. We find that the addition of baryonic physics drastically alters the dark matter profile in the vicinity of the Solar neighbourhood. A stellar/gas disc, already in place at high redshift, causes merging satellites to be dragged preferentially towards the disc plane where they are torn apart by tides. This results in an accreted dark matter disc that contributes ~0.25 - 1.5 times the non-rotating halo density at the solar position. The dark disc, unlike dark matter streams, is an equilibrium structure that must exist in disc galaxies that form in a hierarchical cosmology. Its low rotation lag with respect to the Earth significantly boosts WIMP capture in the Earth and Sun, boosts the annual modulation signal, and leads to distinct variations in the flux as a function of recoil energy that allow the WIMP mass to be determined.
