The high-velocity dark matter halo of the Milky Way in light of the LZ 248 keV event

The interpretation of high-energy nuclear recoil events in direct-detection experiments can depend sensitively on the poorly understood high-speed tail of the Galactic dark matter velocity distribution. This fact has been brought into sharper focus recently by an anomalous nuclear-recoil event at $E_R\approx248~\mathrm...
