Nucleon Structure and Strong Interactions in Dark Matter Capture in Neutron Stars

We outline two important effects that are missing from most evaluations of the dark matter capture rate in neutron stars. As dark matter scattering with nucleons in the star involves large momentum transfer, nucleon structure must be taken into account via a momentum dependence of the hadronic form...
