FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATION NUCLEAR RECOILS ▸ Kinematic penalty when DM mass drops below nucleus mass q 2 q max = 2 m X v E D = 2 m N E D & eV ↔ m X = 300 MeV E kin & 300 eV even though

DARK MATTER AND CLASSICAL BILLIARD BALLS NEXT UP: ELECTRON ▸ More bang for the buck if DM lighter than 1 GeV q 2 q max = 2 m X v E D = 2 m e ▸ Allows to extract all of DM kinetic energy for DM MeV and heavier E D & eV ↔ m X = 1 MeV
