# Limits for Spin-Independent Cross Section of Dark Matter Particle (${{\boldsymbol X}^{0}}$) on Nucleon

Isoscalar coupling is assumed to extract the limits from those on ${{\mathit X}^{0}}$--nuclei cross section.

# For ${\boldsymbol m}_{{{\boldsymbol X}^{0}}}$ = 100 GeV INSPIRE search

For limits from ${{\mathit X}^{0}}$ annihilation in the Sun, the assumed annihilation final state is shown in parenthesis in the comment.
