AMIDAS-II: Upgrade of the AMIDAS Package and Website for Direct Dark Matter Detection Experiments and Phenomenology [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.5611


In this paper, we give a detailed user’s guide to the AMIDAS (A Model-Independent Data Analysis System) (package and) website, which is developed for online simulations and data analyses for direct Dark Matter detection experiments and phenomenology. Recently, the whole (AMIDAS package and website) system has been upgraded to the second phase: AMIDAS-II, for including the new developed Bayesian analysis technique.
AMIDAS(-II) has the ability to do full Monte Carlo simulations as well as to analyze (real/pseudo-) data sets either generated by another event generating programs or recorded in direct DM detection experiments. Moreover, the AMIDAS(-II) package can include several “user-defined” functions into the main code: the (fitting) one-dimensional WIMP velocity distribution function, the nuclear form factors for spin-independent and spin-dependent cross sections, artificial/experimental background spectrum for both of simulation and data analysis procedures, as well as different distribution functions needed in Bayesian analyses.
