摘要: We investigate the direct detection phenomenology of a class dark matter (DM) models in which DM does not directly interact with nuclei, but rather, products its annihilation do. When these are very light compared to mass, scattering experiments is controlled by relativistic kinematics. This results distinctive recoil spectrum, nonstandard and/or even absent annual modulation, and ability probe masses as low $\ensuremath{\sim}10\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. use current LUX data show that experimental sensitivity thermal relic cross sections has already been reached models. Moreover, compatibility can be ${E}_{\mathrm{min}}$ space without making assumptions about astrophysics, or form factors. Lastly, when couplings limit from particles Sun stronger than conventional nonrelativistic more 3 orders magnitude for 2--7 GeV window.
