Scientific paper

The dark matter problem will be solved only when all of the dark matter is accounted for. Although wimps may be discovered in direct detection experiments soon, we will not know what fraction of the dark matter halo they compose until we measure their local density. In this talk, I will offer a novel method to determine the mass of a wimp from direct detection experiments alone using kinematical consistency constraints. I will then describe a general method to estimate the local density of wimps using both dark matter detection and hadron collider data when it becomes available. These results were obtained in collaboration with Gordon Kane at the University of Michigan.
