Description
The lack of any unambiguous signature of traditional WIMP dark matter, with masses of order 100 GeV, in direct detection searches has prompted a great deal of interest in new techniques, both theoretical and experimental, to probe dark matter candidates below a GeV in mass. In this talk, I will provide a brief survey of some of the recent proposals for the direct detection of meV-GeV mass dark matter candidates. In particular, I will highlight the status of the various proposed experiments, as well as their targeted reach for various dark matter candidates.
