We present a summary of future prospects for direct detection of dark matter within the GeV/c2 to TeV/c2 mass range. This is paired with a new definition of the neutrino fog in order to better quantify the rate of diminishing returns on sensitivity due to irreducible neutrino backgrounds. A survey of dark matter candidates predicted to fall within this mass range demonstrates that fully testing multiple well-motivated theo-ries will require expanding the currently-funded generation of experiments down to and past the neutrino fog. We end with the status and plans for next-generation exper-iments and novel R&D concepts which will get us there.

  6. The lowest-radiation environments in the Solar System: new opportunities for underground rare-event searches

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Atmospherless bodies in the Solar System suppress cosmic-ray-induced neutrino and muon fluxes by about three to four orders of magnitude, opening new sites for ultra-low-background rare-event searches.

  7. New light mediators and the neutrino fog: Implications from XENONnT nuclear recoil data

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Light-mediator couplings are constrained more strongly when they attach to dark matter than to neutrinos, and the neutrinofog in xenon detectors is shifted and deformed under both scenarios.

  8. Relativistic Atomic Effects of Dark Matter Electron Scattering

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A first-principles QFT treatment of dark matter scattering off atomic electrons shows that free-electron factorization can fail and that relativistic Dirac wave functions reduce the xenon atomic factor by 30-50% relat...

  9. Beyond the Veil: Charting WIMP Territories at the Neutrino Floor

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10
