“…In particular, the results of the KIMS-CsI experiment [176] disfavor interpretation of DAMA/LIBRA signal in which the DM particles scatter off iodine nuclei. This could be circumvented in specific scenarios, e.g., for Magnetic Inelastic DM (see, however, recent XENON1T limits [177]), in models with dominant WIMP inelastic spin-dependent coupling to protons if different quenching factors are assumed in both experiments [178,179] (for an extensive discussion see also [92]; for recent limits see [180]) or leptonically interacting DM particles that induce electron recoils [181] (see, however, Ref. [182] and references therein).…”

We review several current aspects of dark matter theory and experiment. We overview the present experimental status, which includes current bounds and recent claims and hints of a possible signal in a wide range of experiments: direct detection in underground laboratories, gamma-ray, cosmic ray, x-ray, neutrino telescopes, and the LHC. We briefly review several possible particle candidates for a weakly interactive massive particle (WIMP) and dark matter that have recently been considered in the literature. We pay particular attention to the lightest neutralino of supersymmetry as it remains the best motivated candidate for dark matter and also shows excellent detection prospects. Finally we briefly review some alternative scenarios that can considerably alter properties and prospects for the detection of dark matter obtained within the standard thermal WIMP paradigm.

“…Another promising way to discover MeV dark matter is via the observation of dark matter scatterings at nuclear targets or electrons [82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98]. In particular, the strongest limits on MeV dark matter stems from the XENON10 and -100 experiments, two-phase detectors that used ionization and scintillation to distinguish background from signal events [99,100].…”

We discuss the phenomenology of an MeV-scale Dirac fermion coupled to the Standard Model through a dark photon with kinetic mixing with the electromagnetic field. We compute the dark matter relic density and explore the interplay of direct detection and accelerator searches for dark photons. We show that precise measurements of the temperature and polarization power spectra of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation lead to stringent constraints, leaving a small window for the thermal production of this MeV dark matter candidate. The forthcoming MeV gamma-ray telescope e-ASTROGAM will offer important and complementary opportunities to discover dark matter particles with masses below ∼ 10 MeV. Lastly, we discuss how a late-time inflation episode and freeze-in production could conspire to yield the correct relic density while being consistent with existing and future constraints.

“…The MiDM particle would first inelastically scatter off the target nucleus, which later de-excites, creating a unique signature in the detector. No such event has been found, excluding WIMPs with masses of 58 GeV/c 2 and 123 GeV/c 2 as proposed to explain the DAMA signal with 3.3σ and 9.3σ, respectively [183].…”

The measurement of an annual modulation in the event rate of direct dark matter detection experiments is a powerful tool for dark matter discovery. Indeed, several experiments have already claimed such a discovery in the past decade. While most of them have later revoked their conclusions, and others have found potentially contradictory results, one still stands today. This paper explains the potential as well as the challenges of annual modulation measurements, and gives an overview on past, present and future direct detection experiments.
