This task can be achieved by matching a tower of effective field theories that reveals how the dark matter properties are encoded in a handful of couplings accessible in experiment. In the talk I will give an overview over this approach, concentrating on the nuclear and hadronic physics required to turn limits on the direct detection rates into constraints on the dark matter parameter space.</span></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">Thank you.</div><div class="">-Carlota, Miguel and Raza</div></body></html>
