A few examples for the light dark matter will be
presented along with their cosmological (e.g. radio astronomy search) and
the particle physics (dark matter search experiments) constraints to illustrate the complementarity between the particle physics and cosmology probes.

The Dark Matter in CCDs (DAMIC) Collaboration takes advantage of developments made in the realm of astronomical imaging technology to perform searches for a variety of dark matter candidates with masses below 10 GeV/$c^2$ using silicon CCDs. An array of 7, 675-$\mu$m thick silicon CCDs, representing ~40 grams of mass, has been collecting data at SNOLAB since early 2017. The collaboration has...

XMASS is a multi-purpose experiment using a single-phase liquid-xenon scintillator
detector located underground at Kamioka Observatory in Japan. We are continuously taking data since November 2013 for more than four years. Leveraging a low-energy threshold and low background, XMASS has performed various researches especially in fields of dark matter and neutrinos, both of which are in the...

In this talk I will discuss the role that neutrino-quark non-standard interactions (NSI) might play in dark matter searches with multi-ton scale detectors. I will show that constraints from neutrino oscillations and COHERENT data still allow for sufficiently large NSI couplings, therefore if present they can either enhance or diminish the irreducible neutrino background present in this type of...
