Abstract

The accumulation of dark matter near the Earth is considered. We analyze the case of long range interaction forces. Additional density of the dark matter at the Earth's surface is calculated. We show that this density exceeds the mean density of the dark matter in our galaxy by more then 10⁵ times for some values of dark matter particle mass. Accumulation of WIMP's near the Earth by the same mechanism is also analyzed.
