Power corrections to the universal heavy WIMP-nucleon cross section

WIMP-nucleon scattering is analyzed at order 1/M in Heavy WIMP Effective Theory. The 1/M power corrections, where M≫mW is the WIMP mass, distinguish between different underlying UV models with the same universal limit and their impact on direct detection rates can be enhanced relative to naive expec...
