    • We should mention that modulation is not the only means for distinguishing a WIMP signal from background. For example, varying the atomic weight of the target will yield information about the mass and identity of incident particles. In addition, bolometric detectors may have sufficient spatial and energy resolution to help distinguish a signal from radioactive backgrounds. See Refs. 4 and 5.

    • These models assume an isothermal halo with a scale height a apeq 4 – 5 kpc. We assume throughout that the halo density is due solely to WIMP's.

    • according to Ref. 5, this increases the modulation rate. Thus, in terms of detecting modulation, the isotropic Gaussian distribution is very probably a worst-case scenario in comparison to more realistic models.

    • Note that we are neglecting the effects of the solar and Earth gravitational fields on the WIMP distribution. Since we are concerned in this paper with WIMP's of initial kinetic energy much higher than their gravitational potential energy, this approximation is justified.

    • See Ref. 10. Note that it is only for coherently interacting WIMP's that very massive nuclei are desirable and thus coherence loss must be considered. For particles with only spin-dependent interactions, on the other hand, the most desirable detector nuclei are those that maximize energy loss, i.e., which match nuclear and WIMP masses. In this case, relatively small nuclear masses are desirable.

    • We note that in Eqs. (4.3), (4.4), and (4.6) there is a more complicated but slight dependence on the halo and solar velocities which we have not displayed. Also note that in these equations, the approximate relation M = 0.931 (Z+N) GeV between nuclear mass and atomic number has been used. In the figures, the exact nuclear masses are used.
