# Dark Matter-induced Atomic Response Code (DarkARC)



[![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/202155266.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/202155266)

[![arXiv](https://img.shields.io/badge/arXiv-1912.08204-B31B1B.svg)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.08204)

Python tool for the computation and tabulation of atomic response functions for direct sub-GeV dark matter (DM) searches.



## GENERAL NOTES

- This code computes the four atomic response functions introduced in the paper [[arXiv:1912.08204]](https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.08204).

- The tabulation of the atomic response functions is separated into two steps:

  - the computation and tabulation of three radial integrals (via */src/radial_integrals_tabulation.py*).

  - their combination into the response function tables (via */src/atomic_responses_tabulation.py*).

- The computations are performed in parallel using the [*multiprocessing*](https://docs.python.org/2/library/multiprocessing.html) library.

## CONTENT

The included folders are:

- */data/*: Destination folder of the code's output (tables of integration methods, radial integrals, and finally atomic response functions).

- */src/*: Contains the source code.
