General EFT DM-SM Interaction The traditional SI/SD approach: take only leading-order terms in a WIMP-nucleon interaction present a simple treatment on nuclear structure A more sophisticated EFT approach for WIMP scattering was developed: Consider all leading-order and next-to-leading order operators. Combination of four basic terms: Relative perpendicular velocity between the WIMP and the nucleon (v ) Momentum transfer (q) Spins of WIMP (S χ ) Spins of nucleon (S N ) August 2-5, Mini-Workshop@SJTU 2018/8/4 18
Non-relativistic EFT operators Parametrizing the WIMP-nucleus interaction in terms of 14 operators, O i : SI The EFT interaction would take the form: SD Each EFT operator has independent couplings to protons and neutrons The framework allows interference between certain operators Following the convention from N.
