Light WIMP searches involving electron scattering

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-01-23 v7

Abstract

In the present work we examine the possibility for detecting electrons in dark matter searches. These detectors are considered to be the most appropriate for detecting light dark matter particles in the MeV region. We analyze theoretically some key issues involved in such a detection and we perform calculations for the expected rates employing reasonable theoretical models.
