Résumé |
Sub-GeV dark matter is a theoretically motivated but largely unexplored paradigm of dark matter. In this talk, I
will discuss recent work on the direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter through dark matter-electron
scattering. I will present some motivated models that can be probed with these techniques as well as
projections for current and near-term semiconductor and scintillator experiments. Finally, I will discuss some
new techniques that may allow us to more robustly discriminate between dark matter signatures and
background. |
