Cover Story: We calculate the spin structure functions for spin-dependent elastic and inelastic WIMP scattering off 119Sn and 121Sb. Estimates for detection rates are also given. 119Sn and 121Sb are amenable to nuclear structure calculations using the nuclear shell model (NSM). With the possible exception of 201Hg, they are the only such nuclei still unexplored theoretically for their potential of inelastic WIMP scattering to a very low excited state. The present calculations have been carried out using a state-of-the-art WIMP–nucleus scattering formalism. Structure functions were found to be high for both nuclei in the case of elastic scattering. Detection rate calculations indicate that inelastic scattering is relevant for both nuclei, even surpassing elastic rates for some recoil energies. View this paper
