Abstract
We report on recent progress in the search for dark matter particles
with masses from 1 Mev c^{-2}−2
to 1 Gev c^{-2}−2.
Several dark matter candidates in this mass range are expected to
generate measurable electronic-recoil signals in direct-detection
experiments. We focus on dark matter particles scattering with electrons
in semiconductor detectors since they have fundamentally the highest
sensitivity due to their low ionization threshold. Charge-coupled device
(CCD) silicon detectors are the leading technology, with significant
progress expected in the coming years. We present the status of the CCD
program and briefly report on other efforts.
