DM interaction with a protons and neutrons using maddump

Asked by Amalia Betancur

Dear maddump team,

I want to simulate the DM interaction in a detector with the nuclei (protons and neutrons), and I would like to obtain this type of interaction's energy and momentum distribution. So far, when I run maddump, I get the interaction with quarks, is it possible to generate the interaction in maddump with the whole proton?

Thank you in advance,

Amalia.

Hi,

First thing that you will need is a UFO model where the proton/neutron will be the fundamental particle.
With such model if the particle has the name "p" then you should be able to use maddump as in the DIS mode
for this elastic mode.

However maybe the plot will not work out of the box as well(not sure about that)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

Do you know if there is an example online where I can see how such an implementation is done?

Thank you very much.

No I do not think that anyone has ever done something like that.
