23 questions elastic spin-independent with standard halo: not a good fit to all experiments could a nongeneric DM model be viable? could nuclear and astrophysical uncertainties make a big difference? 13

24 dark matter variations a number of variations on DM one can consider isospin violating couplings velocity suppressed interactions inelastic scattering endothermic, exothermic scattering through resonances additional momentum dependence light mediators, derivative interactions,... leptophilic interactions spin dependent interactions... Kamionkowski, Kurylov, hep-ph/ ; Giuliani, hep-ph/ ; Cotta et al., ; Kang et al., ; Feng et al., ; Chang et al., ; Frandsen et al., Tucker-Smith, Weiner, hep-ph/ Graham, Harnik, Rajendran, Saraswat, Bai, Fox, Feldstein, Fitzpatrick, Katz, ; Chang, Pierce, Weiner, Kopp, Niro, Schwetz, JZ,

25 other uncertainties astrophysical uncertainties see talk by A. Green vary velocity profiles, v esc, etc integrate them out Fox, Liu, Weiner Fox, Kribs, Tait, channeling Bozorgnia, Gelmini, Gondolo, ; ; nuclear and atomic physics quenching factors, L eff in S1, Q y in Xenon S2 nuclear form factor uncertainties 15

26 tensions a complete check for old CoGeNT and DAMA was done by four groups the bottom line: none of the models can make both signals +other bounds work including uncertainties focus on CRESST-II Schwetz, JZ ; Farina, Pappadopulo, Strumia, Volansky ; Fox, Kopp, Lisanti, Weiner ; Hooper, Kelso ; McCabe could it be due to DM? 16
