- [See this basic example for usage.](https://github.com/JelleAalbers/wimprates/blob/master/notebooks/Example.ipynb)

The package uses numericalunits (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numericalunits); all function inputs
are expected to have proper units.
are expected to have proper units (except for the `rate_wimp_std` convenience function).


Features
--------
- Spin-indendent and spin-dependent DM-nucleus scattering;
- Elastic NR, bremsstrahlung, and Migdal effect detection mechanisms;
- Time dependent observed dark matter speed distribution (annual modulation only, no daily modulation).
- Under development: DM-electron scattering
- Time dependent observed dark matter speed distribution (annual modulation only, no daily modulation);
- DM-electron scattering (experimental);
- Support for xenon (all models, default), argon, germanium, and silicon (many models).
