Title:     Direct Deflection of Particle Dark Matter

Abstract: We will discuss a novel strategy to directly detect light particle dark matter that has long-ranged interactions with ordinary matter. The approach involves using time-varying fields and resonant detectors in a two-step deflection-detection process. We will consider the application of this strategy to the detection of sub-MeV dark matter particles with very small electric charges or coupled to a light vector mediator, including the freeze-in parameter space targeted by low mass direct detection efforts. This implementation can probe dark matter masses ranging from 10 MeV to below a meV, extending beyond the capabilities of existing and proposed direct detection experiments.
