Abstract
Recently a Dark Matter-electron (DM-e) paradigm has drawn much attention. Models beyond the Standard Halo Model describing DM accelerated by high energy celestial bodies are under intense examination as well. In this letter, a Velocity Component Analysis method dedicated to swift analysis of Accelerated DM-electron interactions via semiconductor detectors is proposed and the first HPGe detector-based Accelerated DM-electron analysis is realized. Utilizing the method, the first germanium based constraint on sub-GeV Solar Reflected DM-electron interaction is presented with the 205.4 kg$\cdot$day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. In the heavy mediator scenario, the result excels in the mass range of 5$-$15 keV/$c^2$, achieving a three orders of magnitude improvement comparing with previous semiconductor experiments. In the light mediator scenario, the strongest constraint for DM lighter than 0.1 MeV/$c^2$ is presented. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of the Velocity Component Analysis technique in future Accelerated DM-electron analysis with semiconductor detectors.
