8. Wimp-nucleon cross-section constraints (Spin-dependent) Two types of coupling to matter to be considered: Scalar coupling (spin-independent)  (mass number) 2  dominant for heavy nuclei Axial-vector coupling (spin-dependent)  nuclear spin (from unpaired proton or neutron) 7.8% of natural Ge is 73 Ge, a high-spin isotope  4.8kg.day of exposure for spin-independent interaction Even with high-spin nuclei, direct detection sensitivity is orders of magnitude lower for spin-dependent

9. Wimp-nucleon cross-section constraints (Spin-dependent) Low 73 Ge content balanced by nuclear recoils discrimination and high neutron nuclear spin Indirect detection still 10 times more sensitive (Baksan, Super-K) Sensitivity of EDELWEISS to spin-dependent interactions: astro-ph/0412061
