Electron-interacting dark matter: Implications from DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 and prospects for liquid xenon detectors and NaI detectors
B. M. Roberts, V. V. Flambaum
We investigate the possibility for the direct detection of low mass (GeV scale) WIMP dark matter in scintillation experiments. Such WIMPs are typically too light to leave appreciab…

Dark matter scattering on electrons: Accurate calculations of atomic excitations and implications for the DAMA signal
B. M. Roberts, V. A. Dzuba, V. V. Flambaum +2
We revisit the WIMP-type dark matter scattering on electrons that results in atomic ionization, and can manifest itself in a variety of existing direct-detection experiments. Unlik…
