Understand

We believe that the Dark Matter (DM) search should be expanded into the domain of detectors sensitive to molecular excitations, and so that we should create detectors which are more sensitive to collisions with very light WIMPs.

In this paper we investigate in detail di-atomic molecules, such as Fused Silica material with large OH-molecule content, and water molecules.
Presently, we do not have suitable low cost IR detectors to observe single photons, however some OH-molecular excitations extend to visible and UV wavelengths, and can be measured by Bialkali photocathodes.
There are many other chemical substances with di-atomic molecules, or more complex oil molecules, which could be investigated also.
