The Milky Way's Dark Matter Distribution and Consequences for Axion Detection
Abstract
Signals for both direct and indirect dark matter detection depend on the phase-space distribution of dark matter. The possibility of structures with high physical density, known as caustics, has provided an opportunity to increase the discovery potential of the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX). I discuss the formation of dark matter caustics and consequences of the caustic ring model for ADMX.
