Dark matter direct detection rate in a generic model with micrOMEGAs_2.2

Abstract
We present a new module of the micrOMEGAs package for the calculation of WIMP–nuclei elastic scattering cross sections relevant for the direct detection of dark matter through its interaction with nuclei in a large detector. With this new module, the computation of the direct detection rate is performed automatically for a generic model of new physics which contains a WIMP candidate. This model needs to be implemented within micrOMEGAs 2.2.

Title of program: micrOMEGAs2.2
Catalogue Id: ADQR_v2_2

Nature of problem
Calculation of the relic density and of direct and indirect detection rates of the lightest stable particle in a generic new model of particle physics.
