Description

I will discuss a simple model that can give rise to isospin-violating interactions of Dirac fermion asymmetric dark matter to protons and neutrons through the interference of a scalar and U(1)′ gauge boson contribution. The model can yield a large suppression of the elastic scattering cross section off certain elements relative to others thus highlighting the need for the construction of different direct detection experiments utilizing different detector materials and experimental techniques.
