SUMMARY:Bounds on annual modulation signal in dark matter direct detection
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Jure Zupan\, University of Cincinnati\n\nPart of the 
	HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract: I will show  constraints on the annual mod
	ulation signal in Dark Matter direct detection experiments which assume onl
	y very general properties of dark matter halo. The derivation of the bound 
	uses an expansion in the earth velocity and is expressed in terms of the un
	modulated event rate. I will illustrate the bounds by applying them to the 
	annual modulation signals reported by the DAMA and CoGeNT experiments in th
	e framework of spin-independent elastic and inelastic scattering. While the
	 DAMA signal satisfies our bounds\, severe restrictions on the DM mass can 
	be set for CoGeNT.
