Unbinned halo-independent methods for emerging dark matter signals
  Halo-independent methods for analyzing direct detection experiments can
provide robust results while making no assumptions about the dark matter halo
in our galaxy. We extend existing methods to the case of unbinned data, which
is especially well suited to emerging dark matter signals with only a few
events in a nearly background-free environment. We show that such methods can
easily be generalized to the case of inelastic or exothermic scattering, and
provide a useful handle on extracting results independent of the halo model
while maximizing the available experimental information.
