Description
The scalar coupling of the nucleon is a crucial quantity in theoretical studies of direct detection of dark matter. The expected event rates in these analyses are very sensitive to these hadronic matrix elements and an accurate determination is necessary in order to interpret the experimental results and constrain the different dark matter models. In this talk, I will show the current phenomenological determinations of these quantities and analyze the current discrepancy between lattice determinations and the former.
