Bayesian Analysis of time dependence of DAMA modulation amplitude
TLDR
A test of the variability of the per-cycle annual modulation amplitude in the different phases of the DAMA/LIBRA experiment using Bayesian model comparison shows a moderate preference for exponentially varying amplitudes in the 2-5 and 2-6 keV energy intervals.
Bayesian analysis of time dependence of DAMA annual modulation amplitude
We implement a test of the variability of the per-cycle annual modulation amplitude in the different phases of the DAMA/LIBRA experiment using Bayesian model comparison. Using frequentist methods, a…
Influence of NaI background and mass on testing the DAMA modulation
NaI experiments should be sensitive to the same DM-SM interactions proposed to explain the observed DAMA modulation. As such, they are often called a ‘model independent’ test of the signal. While the…
Study on NaI(Tl) crystal at -35 C for dark matter detection
Inelastic dark matter scattering off Thallium cannot save DAMA
We study the compatibility of the observed DAMA modulation signal with inelastic scattering of dark matter (DM) off of the 0.1% Thallium (Tl) dopant in DAMA. In this work we test whether there exist…
Characterization of SABRE crystal NaI-33 with direct underground counting
Ultra-pure NaI(Tl) crystals are the key element for a model-independent verification of the long standing DAMA result and a powerful means to search for the annual modulation signature of dark matter…
The Effect of Stellar Velocity on Dark Matter Capture and Detection with Population III Stars
Compact astrophysical objects have been considered in the literature as dark matter (DM) probes, via the observational effects of annihilating captured DM. In this respect, Population III (Pop III)…
Strong constraints from COSINE-100 on the DAMA dark matter results using the same sodium iodide target
It is a long-standing debate as to whether or not the annual modulation in the event rate observed by the DAMA sodium iodide experiment is caused by the interaction of dark matter particles. To…
Scintillation characteristics of a NaI(Tl) crystal at low-temperature with silicon photomultiplier
The scintillation characteristics of a thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) crystal with dimensions of 0.6 cm× 0.6 cm× 2 cm were studied by attaching a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) directly to…
Analytic Approximations for the Velocity Suppression of Dark Matter Capture
Compact astrophysical objects have been considered in the literature as dark matter (DM) probes, via the observational effects of annihilating captured DM. In this paper we investigate the role of…

First Results on Dark Matter Annual Modulation from the ANAIS-112 Experiment.
TLDR
The annual modulation analysis of 1.5 years of data from ANAIS-112 supports the estimated sensitivity for the accumulated exposure, which supports the projected goal of reaching a 3σ sensitivity to the DAMA/LIBRA result in five years of data taking.

Annual modulations from secular variations: not relaxing DAMA?
TLDR
The odds against the hypothesis of a time varying background being responsible for the annual modulation are decreased by a Bayes factor larger than 10^8 after considering the public available data of the Dama/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments.

TLDR
