Description
I will give an overview of the nuclear physics input required for the interpretation of direct detection searches for dark matter, concentrating on approaches based on chiral effective field theory.
In particular, I will discuss the sources of uncertainty in the calculation of the nuclear responses, to trigger the discussion if and how to include these uncertainties in statistical analyses.
