dmscatter: A fast program for WIMP-nucleus scattering

Inspired by an existing Mathematica script that computes the target response [2], we have developed a fast, modern Fortran code, including optional OpenMP parallelization, along with a user-friendly Python wrapper, to swiftly and efficiently explore many scenarios, with output aligned with practices of current dark matter searches.

A library of most of the important target nuclides is included; users may also import their own nuclear structure data, in the form of reduced one-body density matrices. The main output is the differential event rate as a function of recoil energy, needed for modeling detector response rates, but intermediate results such as nuclear form factors can be readily accessed.
