Description

The lack of any conclusive signal from the dark matter searches carried out so far has motivated the development of new experiments with increased sensitivity. In this seminar I will review the current direct searches for dark matter particles in a mass range below that explored so far, with a focus on SuperCDMS. In addition, I will briefly discuss some new direct detection approaches that are currently in the R&D stage, that might allow to push the mass thresholds even further down in the future
