Direct Detection of Sub-GeV Dark Matter

Essig, Rouven, Mardon, Jeremy, Volansky, Tomer

Understand

Direct detection strategies are proposed for dark matter particles with MeV to GeV mass.

In this largely unexplored mass range, dark matter scattering with electrons can cause single-electron ionization signals, which are detectable with current technology.
Ultraviolet photons, individual ions, and heat are interesting alternative signals.
Focusing on ionization, we calculate the expected dark matter scattering rates and estimate the sensitivity of possible experiments.
