Originating Calendar: Physics - High Energy Physics Seminar; The Moving Target: Direct Detection in the Light DM Landscape
I will highlight recent significant improvements in the sensitivity of ongoing direct detection experiments, especially in the MeV to GeV dark matter mass range. I will interpret these results in the context of the light dark matter theoretical landscape and motivate the work theorists need to do as these experiments increasingly plumb the depths of direct detection parameter space.
