Description
I introduce WimPyDD and WimPyC which are object-oriented and customizable Python codes that calculate accurate predictions for the expected rates in WIMP direct detection experiments and WIMP capture rate in celestial bodies within the framework of Galilean invariant non-relativistic effective theory. Due to the experimental threshold direct detection can not explore signals at low WIMP incoming speed range, while capture in celestial bodies is favored for low or even vanishing WIMP speed. This complementarity can be analyzed using WimPyDD and WimPyC so that one can obtain bounds on WIMP-nucleus scattering which do not depend on the WIMP velocity distributions or WIMP-nucleus interactions.
