Abstract：
A WIMP-model-independent method is used to examine the existing evidence for low mass dark matter. Using XENON100's recent result of 224.6 live days × 34 kg exposure and PICASSO's result that was published in 2012, we have obtained constraints on the couplings |a_n| < 0.4 and |a_p| < 0.3, corresponding to spin-dependent cross-sections of σ_n < 2.5 × 10^-38 cm² and σ_p < 1.4 × 10^-38cm² for a WIMP mass of 10 GeV/c². It is shown that the spin-independent isospin-violating dark matter model also fails to reconcile the recent result from XENON100 with the positive results from DAMA, CoGeNT and CDMS-Ⅱ.
