Scientific paper

Many experiments are ongoing or are planned to detect WIMP-like dark matter for which the signal depends sensitively on the dark matter distribution function as seen by an observer on Earth. In addition to a population of dark matter streaming through the solar system from the galactic halo, Damour & Krauss (1999) have postulated a population of dark matter bound to the solar system by weak interactions with nuclei in the sun. In this paper, I will discuss a set of simulations of the orbits the particles captured to the solar system by this mechanism. I will discuss the implications of this bound population on direct and indirect detection experiments.
