Abstract: (cern)
We investigate the role of nuclear spin in elastic scattering of Dark Matter (DM) neutralino from nuclei in the framework of the Minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM). Relative contribution of spin-dependent axial-vector and spin-independent scalar interactions to the event rate in a DM detector has been analyzed for various nuclei. Within general assumptions about the nuclear and nucleon structure we have found that for nuclei with the atomic weights the spin-independent part of the event rate is larger than the spin-dependent one in the domain of the MSSM parameter space allowed by the known experimental data and where the additional constraint for the total event rate is satisfied. The latter respects realistic sensitivities of the present and near future DM detectors. Therefore we expect equal chances for discovering the DM-event either with spin-zero or with spin-non-zero isotopes if their atomic weights are .- dark matter
