WIMP Search by the DAMA Experiment at Gran Sasso

  • Conference paper
Dark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics

Abstract

DAMA is searching for rare processes by developing and using several kinds of radiopure scintillators: in particular, NaI(Tl), liquid Xenon and CaF2(Eu). Here only the results released so far on the WIMP annual modulation signature are summarized and compared with results from other experiments, including the recent re-analysis of CDMS-I data. Next perspectives are also shortly addressed.
