Abstract.
In this paper, the model independent annual modulation effect observed by DAMA during four independent experiments of one annual cycle each (57986 kg \(\times\) day total statistics) is analysed in terms of a particle dark matter candidate which can only inelastically scatter by making a transition to a slightly heavier state, as previously suggested in the literature.
