43 Summary Summary Once two or more experiments with different target nuclei observe positive WIMP signals, we could reconstruct WIMP mass m χ 1-D velocity distribution f 1 (v) SI WIMP-proton coupling f p 2 (with an assumed ρ 0 ) ratio between the SD WIMP-nucleon couplings a n /a p ratios between the SD and SI WIMP-nucleon cross sections σ SD χ(p,n) /σsi χp With an assumed f 1,th (v), one can fit f 1 (v) by using Bayesian analysis. For these analyses the local density, the velocity distribution, and the mass/couplings on nucleons of halo WIMPs are not required priorly. For a WIMP mass of O(100 GeV), with only O(50) events from one experiment and less than 20% unrejected backgrounds, these quantities could be estimated with statistical uncertainties of 10% 40%.
