摘要:

我们从最近的一个高分辨率的重子N体宇宙学模拟中提取了红移z=0的银河系大小的物体,包括气体,恒星和暗物质(DM)。它的分辨率足以证明旋转盘的形成和晕势中心的隆起。中央星系晕的相空间结构揭示了一个与恒星盘同向旋转的暗盘成分的存在。在地球位置,它贡献了总DM局域密度的25%左右,其值为rho_DM ~ 0.37 GeV/cm^3。速度分布也显示出强烈的偏离纯高斯和麦克斯韦分布,与高速尾部的急剧下降。我们给出了一个详细的研究,这些功能的预测DM信号在直接检测实验的影响。特别是,DAMA观察到的调制信号是否被其他实验(CDMS,XENON和CRESST......)的重新分析和比较的情况下,一个标准的麦克斯韦晕,在弹性和非弹性散射的情况下。我们发现,DAMA和其他实验之间的兼容性得到改善。在弹性情况下,DAMA调制信号在所谓的沟道区域中略微增强,这是几种效应的结果。对于非弹性的情况下,拟合的改善主要是由于在高速度下偏离麦克斯韦分布。

英文摘要:

We extract at redshift z=0 a Milky Way sized object including gas, stars and dark matter (DM) from a recent, high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation with baryons. Its resolution is sufficient to witness the formation of a rotating disk and bulge at the center of the halo potential. The phase-space structure of the central galactic halo reveals the presence of a dark disk component, that is co-rotating with the stellar disk. At the Earth's location, it contributes to around 25% of the total DM local density, whose value is rho_DM ~ 0.37 GeV/cm^3. The velocity distributions also show strong deviations from pure Gaussian and Maxwellian distributions, with a sharper drop of the high velocity tail. We give a detailed study of the impact of these features on the predictions for DM signals in direct detection experiments. In particular, the question of whether the modulation signal observed by DAMA is or is not excluded by limits set by other experiments (CDMS, XENON and CRESST...) is re-analyzed and compared to the case of a standard Maxwellian halo, in both the elastic and the inelastic scattering scenarios. We find that the compatibility between DAMA and the other experiments is improved. In the elastic scenario, the DAMA modulation signal is slightly enhanced in the so-called channeling region, as a result of several effects. For the inelastic scenario, the improvement of the fit is mainly attributable to the departure from a Maxwellian distribution at high velocity.
