This report provides an extensive review of the experimental programme of direct detection
searches of particle dark matter. It focuses mostly on European efforts, both current and …

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in
contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the …

We present the first direct-detection search for sub-GeV dark matter using a new∼ 2-gram
high-resistivity Skipper CCD from a dedicated fabrication batch that was optimized for dark …

We report on the search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the
mass range below 10 GeV/c 2, from the analysis of the entire dataset acquired with a low …

A bstract We consider the constraints from Supernova 1987A on particles with small
couplings to the Standard Model. We discuss a model with a fermion coupled to a dark …

Dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei can result in the excitation and ionization of the
recoiling atom through the so-called Migdal effect. The energy deposition from the ionization …

Delayed single-and few-electron emissions plague dual-phase time projection chambers,
limiting their potential to search for light-mass dark matter. This paper examines the origins …

We review scenarios in which the particles that account for the Dark Matter (DM) in the
Universe interact only through their couplings with the Higgs sector of the theory, the so …

We present the first Ge-based constraints on sub-MeV/c 2 dark matter (DM) particles
interacting with electrons using a 33.4 g Ge cryogenic detector with a 0.53 electron-hole pair …

We report constraints on light dark matter through its interactions with shell electrons in the
PandaX-II liquid xenon detector with a total 46.9 tonnes/day exposure. To effectively search …
