    Abstract: The interpretation of dark matter direct detection experiments is complicated by the fact that neither the astrophysical distribution of dark matter nor the properties of its particle physics interactions with nuclei are known in detail. I will present a new framework that combines the full formalism of non-relativistic effective interactions with state-of-the-art...

    Abstract: The axion arises as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson from the spontaneous breaking of a hypothetical global Peccei-Quinn symmetry introduced to provide a solution to the strong CP problem of quantum chromodynamics. Due to the weakness of the coupling with ordinary matters, the axion is regarded as a viable candidate of dark matter of the universe. However, there is a theoretical...

    Abstract: A reliable comparison of different dark matter searches requires models that satisfy certain consistency conditions like gauge invariance and perturbative unitarity. These conditions can easily be satisfied in U(1)' extensions of the Standard Model, where a fermionic dark matter candidate as well as a new Z' gauge boson obtain their mass from the spontaneous breaking of the U(1)' by...
