- We propose a novel method to determine the mass scale of ambient dark matter, applicable to (at least effectively) two-dimensional direct detection experiments that allow for directionality observables. Due to the motion of the solar system and Earth relative to the Galactic Center and the Sun, the dark-matter flux exhibits a directional preference. We first demonstrate that dark-matter event rates depend non-trivially on the angle between the detection plane and the overall dark-matter flow, with the curvature of this angular spectrum encoding mass information. As proof of principle, we take the recently proposed Graphene-Josephson-Junction-based superlight dark-matter detector as a concrete example and validate these theoretical expectations through numerical analyses.
