abstract

We present improved germanium-based constraints on sub-GeV dark matter via dark matter--electron ($\chi$-$e$) scattering using the 205.4 kg$\cdot$day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. Using a novel calculation technique, we attain predicted $\chi$-$e$ scattering spectra observable in high-purity germanium detectors. In the heavy mediator scenario, our results achieve 3 orders of magnitude of improvement for $m_{\chi}$ larger than 80 MeV/c$^2$ compared to previous germanium-based $\chi$-$e$ results. We also present the most stringent $\chi$-$e$ cross-section limit to date among experiments using solid-state detectors for $m_{\chi}$ larger than 90 MeV/c$^2$ with heavy mediators and $m_{\chi}$ larger than 100 MeV/c$^2$ with electric dipole coupling. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of a new $\chi$-$e$ detection method with high-purity germanium detectors in ultralow radioactive background.

  1. Probing Supernova Neutrino Boosted Dark Matter with Collective Excitation

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Galactic supernova neutrino boosted dark matter can produce plasmon excitations in silicon detectors, improving sub-MeV dark matter sensitivity by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude over Super-K.

  2. Ubiquitous Corotation of Dark Matter Halos: Implications for Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter in simulated Milky Way analogues preferentially corotates with the baryonic disk, suppressing predicted direct-detection rates for light WIMPs, reducing directional modulation, and producing a 21% astrophy...

  3. Freeze-in Production of Non-Abelian Millicharged Vector Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A hidden SU(2) gauge sector broken to a massless dark photon can produce vector dark matter via freeze-in with portal couplings near 10^-7.

  4. Direct Detection of Leptophobic Dark Matter with Electronic Collective Excitations

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Leptophobic dark matter can excite plasmons in silicon through hadronic loops, and SENSEI data now constrain its nucleon cross section down to ~1e-31 cm^2 in the sub-MeV mass range.

  5. Study of sub-GeV Dipolar Dark States at SND@LHC within Invisible Bounds on Meson Decays

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    SND@LHC could probe sub-GeV dark matter with electric/magnetic dipole moments in parts of parameter space not yet excluded, especially around 0.5 MeV in HL-LHC, but existing LEP and CHARM II bounds remain tighter in m...

  6. Laser induced Compton Scattering to Dark Matter in Effective Field Theory

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Electrons struck by an intense laser can decay into a light dark matter pair; at LUXE this could probe EFT cutoffs near 1 GeV for dimension-6 operators and 10^3-10^4 GeV for dipole operators with dark matter below 1 MeV.
