The status of the search for low mass WIMPs: 2012
  Using information from a recent dark matter symposium at Marina del Rey, we
discuss the most recent evidence and constraints on low mass WIMPs. There are
now five separate experimental limits on such WIMPs, including a new paper on
the XENON100 225 day exposure. There are very different experimental methods
with different backgrounds that comprise this limit. We speculate on the
possible sources of the reported low mass WIMP signals and background.
