abstract

We present limits on spin-independent dark matter-nucleon interactions using a $10.6$ $\mathrm{g}$ Si athermal phonon detector with a baseline energy resolution of $\sigma_E=3.86 \pm 0.04$ $(\mathrm{stat.})^{+0.19}_{-0.00}$ $(\mathrm{syst.})$ $\mathrm{eV}$. This exclusion analysis sets the most stringent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-section limits achieved by a cryogenic detector for dark matter particle masses from $93$ to $140$ $\mathrm{MeV}/c^2$, with a raw exposure of $9.9$ $\mathrm{g}\cdot\mathrm{d}$ acquired at an above-ground facility. This work illustrates the scientific potential of detectors with athermal phonon sensors with eV-scale energy resolution for future dark matter searches.

  1. Hydrogenated carbon structures as directional sub-GeV dark matter detectors

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hydrogenated carbon sheets and nanotube arrays could detect dark matter as light as ~1 MeV by counting protons knocked loose from hydrogen atoms.

  2. Dark Matter-Electron Detectors for Dark Matter-Nucleon Interactions

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Electron-sensitive superconducting detectors are simultaneously sensitive to dark matter-nucleon interactions, yielding new bounds on MeV-scale hadrophilic dark matter.

  3. SPLENDOR: a novel detector platform to search for light dark matter with narrow-gap semiconductors

    physics.ins-det 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dark matter detector platform combining a 60 meV-gap semiconductor (Eu5In2Sb6) with cryogenic HEMT readout and daily modulation analysis is presented, with projected sensitivity to sub-MeV dark matter.

  4. First direct search for light dark matter interactions in a transition-edge sensor

    physics.ins-det 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A 489-hour run of a tungsten transition-edge sensor, used as both target and readout, sets first-generation limits on sub-MeV dark matter scattering with electrons and nucleons and on dark photon absorption.

  5. The CRESST experiment: towards the next-generation of sub-GeV direct dark matter detection

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    CRESST's projected 288-channel upgrade with gram-scale CaWO4 detectors could reach spin-independent dark matter cross sections near 10^-42 cm^2 at 1 GeV/c^2, if the low-energy excess is reduced by a factor of 10 to 100.
