abstract
We report the search results of light dark matter through its interactions with shell electrons and nuclei, using the commissioning data from the PandaX-4T liquid xenon detector. Low energy events are selected to have an ionization-only signal between 60 to 200 photoelectrons, corresponding to a mean nuclear recoil energy from 0.77 to 2.54 keV and electronic recoil energy from 0.07 to 0.23 keV. With an effective exposure of 0.55 tonne$\cdot$year, we set the most stringent limits within a mass range from 40 $\rm{MeV/c^2}$ to 10 $\rm{GeV/c^2}$ for point-like dark matter-electron interaction, 100 MeV/c$^2$ to 10 GeV/c$^2$ for dark matter-electron interaction via a light mediator, and 3.2 to 4 $\rm{GeV/c^2}$ for dark matter-nucleon spin-independent interaction. For DM interaction with electrons, our limits are closing in on the parameter space predicted by the freeze-in and freeze-out mechanisms in the early Universe.

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

Light Dark Matter Search with 7.8 Tonne-Year of Ionization-Only Data in XENONnT
An S2-only analysis of 7.83 tonne-years of XENONnT data finds no dark matter excess and sets 90% CL limits, e.g. 6.0e-45 cm^2 for spin-independent scattering at 5 GeV/c^2.

Direct Detection of Leptophobic Dark Matter with Electronic Collective Excitations
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.

Sensitivity of nEXO to $^{136}$Xe Charged-Current Interactions: Background-free Searches for Solar Neutrinos and Fermionic Dark Matter
A new delayed-coincidence tag from 136Cs isomers could let the nEXO detector reject backgrounds down to 10^-9 and measure CNO solar neutrinos, the 7Be neutrino energy, and sub-MeV fermionic dark matter.

New Thermal-Relic Targets for sub-GeV Dark Matter Direct Detection
For sub-GeV dark matter coupled to anomaly-free U(1) mediators, thermal freeze-out predicts electron-recoil cross sections that are already excluded for electrophilic mediators but still viable and discoverable for el...

Direct detection of solar chameleons with electron recoil data from XENONnT
XENONnT electron-recoil data bound solar chameleons to log10 β_eff < −6.9, independent of the potential index n for inverse power-law chameleons at the dark-energy scale.

Neutrino fog in the light dark sector: the role of isospin violation
In a U(1)' dark sector model, isospin-violating couplings shift both the neutrino floor and the DM exclusion bound, changing the window for light dark matter discovery.

Sub-GeV Dark Matter Under Pressure from Direct Detection
PandaX-4T S2-only data yields world-leading sub-GeV dark matter-electron scattering limits for heavy mediators in the 20-200 MeV range, although the result largely overlaps with the collaboration's own just-released analysis.
