Title: Directional Detection of Light Dark Matter
Abstract: As large-scale dark matter direct detection experiments push towards the neutrino fog, the smoking gun for a dark matter signal remains the characteristic daily modulation of the event rate. I will describe recent progress on two new directional detector concepts which are sensitive to daily modulation for sub-GeV dark matter, allowing them to continue accumulating a statistically-significant signal even in the presence of modulating or non-modulating backgrounds. Both of these collaborations were born as a result of discussions initiated at KICP, demonstrating the continued importance of the KICP Fellowship and the highly interactive environment at KICP.
