Abstract
Lecture notes for Les Houches Summer School 2021: Dark Matter. These lectures give a brief introduction to sub-GeV dark matter models, and then reviews theory and approaches to direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter.

Strengths
1- comprehensive set of lecture notes on a fairly young field of research. 2-provides detailed examples which provide good intuition for relevant parameters and their values.
Report
Requested changes
1- after equation 11, please define e and alpha (they are defined later on in the notes, but this is the first appearance) 2- after eq 20, please define v_0 in the expression for R_chi. N_T may be more intuitive if it is written as N_T~6/m_N~6/(131*1.7e-27 kg) 3-after eq 25, make sure to define e, alpha earlier in the text (see comment 1). 4-before eq. 60, is the use of the dielectric function specific to the dark photon? 5- between eq. 85-85, there may be some confusion with the exclamation point and the factorial symbol. 6-after eq 85, missing "to" in sentence "...is highly suppressed compared TO the acoustic phonon rate..."

Report
detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter. The latter represents a very active
field of research where understanding the advancements requires
theoretical tools borrowed from solid-state physics. The lecture notes
introduce these concepts in a very pedagogical fashion. Hence, it is
a very welcome document for the Dark Matter community, who are, by and
large, particle physicists and it will be useful to students and
experienced researchers alike. Although sometimes the reference list
is a bit thin, it would also be a considerable challenge to make it
more comprehensive. Since these are lecture notes and not a review, I
feel this is entirely acceptable. I recommend the publication of these
notes in SciPost.
