We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

We present an overview of scenarios where the observed Dark Matter (DM) abundance
consists of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), produced nonthermally by the so …

The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in
the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress …

We study the direct detection prospects for a representative set of simplified models of sub-
GeV dark matter (DM), accounting for existing terrestrial, astrophysical and cosmological …

We study in detail sub-GeV dark matter scattering off electrons in xenon, including the
expected electron recoil spectra and annual modulation spectra. We derive improved …

Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence
of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter …

We propose the use of superconducting nanowires as both target and sensor for direct
detection of sub-GeV dark matter. With excellent sensitivity to small energy deposits on …

We propose the use of three-dimensional Dirac materials as targets for direct detection of
sub-MeV dark matter. Dirac materials are characterized by a linear dispersion for low-energy …

These lectures provide an introduction to models and direct detection of dark matter. We
summarize the general features and motivations for candidates in the full dark matter mass …

We propose the use of silicon carbide (SiC) for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. SiC
has properties similar to both silicon and diamond but has two key advantages:(i) it is a polar …
