Description
We calculate the interaction rates of light dark matter in dielectric materials, including screening effects. The full response of the material is parametrized in the terms of the energy loss function (ELF) of material, which one can convert into differential scattering rates for both direct dark matter electron scattering and through the Migdal effect.
