Abstract

Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter offers a unique opportunity to identify Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) events as such. Depending on the unknown WIMP-nucleon cross section, directional detection may be used to : exclude Dark Matter, discover galactic Dark Matter with a high significance or constrain WIMP and halo properties. We review the discovery reach of Dark Matter directional detection.
