  1. We present results of a search for spin-independent dark matter-nucleus interactions in a 1 cm 2 by 1 mm thick (0.233 g) high-resolution silicon athermal phonon detector operated above ground. For interactions in the substrate, this detector achieves an rms baseline energy resolution of 361.5 ( 4 ) m eV (statistical error), the best for any athermal phonon detector to date. With an exposure of 0.233 g × 12 hours, we place the most stringent constraints on dark matter masses between 44 and 87 M eV / c 2 , with the lowest unexplored cross section of 4 × 10 32 c m 2 at 87 M eV / c 2 . We employ a conservative salting technique to reach the lowest dark matter mass ever probed via direct detection experiment. This constraint is enabled by two-channel rejection of low energy backgrounds that are coupled to individual sensors.
