Abstract
By lowering their energy threshold, direct dark matter searches can reach the neutrino floor with experimental technology that is now in development. The flux can be detected with nuclear recoil energy threshold and 50 kg/yr exposure. The flux can be detected with ton/yr exposure, and the first detection of the CNO flux is possible with similar exposure. The flux can be detected with threshold of and only exposure. These can be the first pure neutral current measurements of the low-energy solar neutrino flux. Measuring this flux is important for low mass dark matter searches and for understanding the solar interior.
