Description
Observations from the direct detection experiments DAMA/LIBRA and CoGeNT, along
with those from the Gamma Ray Space Telescope, have been interpreted as possible
evidence of dark matter in the form of relatively light (5-10 GeV) WIMPs. I will discuss
the implications of these observations for dark matter phenomenology and discuss how
it will be possible with future measurements to either confirm or refute this
interpretation. I will also discuss how recent results from the Tevatron could impact
efforts to build models including a light WIMP.
