Detection rates for the elastic and inelastic scattering of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) off 23Na are calculated within the framework of Deformed Shell Model (DSM) based on Hartree-Fock states. At first, the spectroscopic properties of the detector nucleus, like energy spectra and magnetic moments, are evaluated and compared with experimental data. Following the good agreement of these results, DSM wave functions are used for obtaining elastic and inelastic spin structure functions, nuclear structure coefficients and so forth for the WIMP-23Na scattering. Then, the event rates are also computed with a given set of supersymmetric parameters. In the same manner, using DSM wavefunctions, nuclear structure coefficients and event rates for elastic scattering of WIMPs from 40Ar are also obtained. These results for event rates and also for annual modulation will be useful for the ongoing and future WIMP detection experiments involving detector materials with 23Na and 40Ar nuclei.

We shall consider the problem of Dark Matter (DM) in torsion gravity with Dirac matter fields; we will consider the fact that if Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles in a bath are allowed to form condensates then torsional effects may be relevant even at galactic scales: we show that torsionally-gravitating Dirac fields have interesting properties for the problem of DM. We discuss consequences.
