DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bradley Kavanagh (IPhT - CEA/Saclay)\nThe framework 
 of non-relativistic effective field theory (NREFT) aims to generalise the 
 standard analysis of direct detection experiments\, which is typically fra
 med in terms of spin-dependent (SD) and spin-independent (SI) interactions
 . I will show that a number of these more general NREFT operators lead to 
 distinctive new directional signatures\, such as prominent ring-like featu
 res in the directional recoil rate\, even for relatively low mass WIMPs. I
  will focus on how well different operators can be distinguished in direct
 ional and non-directional direct detection experiments. In particular\, I 
 will show that for certain NREFT operators\, directional sensitivity provi
 des the only method of distinguishing them from the standard SI/SD operato
 rs\, highlighting the importance of directional detectors in probing the p
 article physics of dark matter.\n\nhttps://indico.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/event
