The search is performed with an integrated exposure of 85.23 g days, and exploits the subelectron charge resolution and low level of dark current of DAMIC-M charge-coupled devices (CCDs). Dark-matter-induced ionization signals above the detector dark current are searched for in CCD pixels with charge up to 7e−. With this dataset we place limits on dark matter particles of mass between 0.53 and 1000 MeV/c², excluding unexplored regions of parameter space in the mass ranges [1.6; 1000] MeV/c² and [1.5; 15.1] MeV/c² for ultralight and heavy mediator interactions, respectively.}, organization = {IFCA was supported by project PID2019–109829GB-I00 funded by MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033.}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Physical Review Letters, 2023, 130(17), 171003}, title = {First constraints from DAMIC-M on Sub-GeV dark-matter particles interacting with electrons}, author = {Arnquist, I. and Castelló Mor, Nuria and Cortabitarte Gutiérrez, Juan and Duarte Campderros, Jorge and Lantero Barreda, Agustín and López Virto, María Amparo and Vila Álvarez, Iván and Vilar Cortabitarte, Rocío}, }
