Theoretical prospects for directional WIMP detection
  Direct detection of dark matter with directional sensitivity is a promising
concept for improving the search for weakly interacting massive particles. With
information on the direction of WIMP induced nuclear recoils one has access to
the full 3-dimensional velocity distribution of the local dark matter halo and
thus a potential avenue for studying WIMP astrophysics. Furthermore the unique
angular signature of the WIMP recoil distribution provides a crucial
discriminant from neutrinos which currently represent the ultimate background
to direct detection experiments.
