Description
Direct detection experiments place some of the strongest constraints on models of dark matter and are therefore essential to include in global analyses of such models. In this talk I will discuss the specific requirements for and possible applications of likelihood functions from direct detection experiments. I will give a brief introduction into the public code DDCalc, which provides approximate direct detection likelihoods for arbitrary interactions between dark matter and nuclei, and present some of the recent results.
