Novel direct detection constraints on light dark matter

T Bringmann, M Pospelov - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
All attempts to directly detect particle dark matter (DM) scattering on nuclei suffer from the
partial or total loss of sensitivity for DM masses in the GeV range or below. We derive novel …
