Welcome to dame_dd, a python code that to compute the impact of dark matter substructure on direct detection experiments relying on dark matter-electron scattering.

To use simply do:

>>> import dame_dd as de

There are three sub-modules: de.ap for astrophysics, de.sc for semiconductors, and de.rt for the scattering rates. A fourth one, de.at for atoms, will be added in the future.

For help on how to use these modules, type:

>>> help(de.ap)
>>> help(de.sc)
>>> help(de.rt)
