Light Dark Matter: New Directions for Theory and Detection
Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries of the universe, yet its particle identity is unknown. This proposal focuses on light dark matter (LDM), with mass below a GeV. In Light-Dark, I will pursue two intrinsically complementary directions: (I) I will explore novel theoretical frameworks for LDM; and (II) I will develop new theoretical concepts to directly detect it in the laboratory. This pioneering theory work will lay the foundation for future experimental realizations and is crucial in the quest to unearth the identity of dark matter. I will carry out a comprehensive research program designed to tackle these challenges, and I believe that I am uniquely positioned to do so. Regarding…
