Description
Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) is an attractive candidate for particle dark matter. Typical WIMP models predict the scattering process of dark matter off nuclei, and they can be probed by direct detection experiments such as the XENONnT. There are many direct detection experiments for more than a few decades, and there is no significant scattering signal. This implies that the DM-nucleon scattering cross section is highly suppressed. In this talk, we discuss how to suppress the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section.
