QCD corrections for the direct detection of supersymmetric dark matter

该项目的目的是更精确地计算超对称暗物质从标准模型粒子散射的截面。它将允许更精确地确定暗物质的速率，在发现自然界实现的超对称模型之后，可以通过氙等散射实验直接在地球上检测暗物质。或者，可以根据这些计算更可靠地计划新的、甚至更敏感的实验。由于横截面也会影响地球或太阳中星系晕中暗物质的吸积，这些计算也有助于更精确地预测通过宇宙射线间接探测暗物质的速率。

The aim of this project is a more precise calculation of the cross sections for the scattering of supersymmetric dark matter off Standard Model particles. It would allow for a more precise determination of the rates, with which dark matter can be detected directly on earth with scattering experiments like Xenon, and after its discovery of the supersymmetric model realised in Nature. Alternatively, new, even more sensitive experiments could be planned more reliably on the basis of these calculations. As the cross sections influence also the accretion of dark matter from the galactic halo in the earth or in the sun, these computations also contribute to more precise predictions of the rates for the indirect detection of dark matter via cosmic rays.
