The DAMA-NaI Collaboration has observed a $4\ensuremath{\sigma}$ C.L. model-independent effect investigating the annual modulation signature in the counting rate of an NaI(Tl) setup (total exposure of 57986 kg day) and the implications of this effect have been studied under different model-dependent assumptions. In this paper we extend one of the previous analyses, the case of a WIMP with a purely spin-independent coupling, by discussing in detail the implications on the results of the…

We discuss the interpretation of the annual modulation signal seen in the DAMA experiment in terms of spin-independent elastic WIMP scattering. Taking into account channeling in the crystal as well

The DAMA/NaI experiment (≃100 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl)) was proposed, designed and realized to effectively investigate in a model-independent way the presence of a Dark Matter particle component

### Dark matter particles in the galactic halo: DAMA/LIBRA results and perspectives

Most of the Universe is Dark and a large fraction of it should be made of relic particles; many possibilities are open on their nature and interaction types. Thus, their investigation is an

### Interpreting the recent results on direct searches for dark matter particles in terms of relic neutralinos

• Physics
• 2008
The most recent results from direct searches for dark matter particles in the Galactic halo are examined in terms of an effective minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model at the

### Effect of realistic astrophysical inputs on the phase and shape of the WIMP annual modulation signal

The orbit of the Earth about the Sun produces an annual modulation in the WIMP direct detection rate. If the local WIMP velocity distribution is isotropic then the modulation is roughly sinusoidal

Experimental observations and theoretical arguments at Galaxy and larger scales have suggested that a large fraction of the Universe is composed by Dark Matter (DM) particles. This has motivated the

Rates for detection of weakly interacting massive-particle (WIMP) dark matter are usually carried out assuming the Milky Way halo is an isothermal sphere. However, it is possible that our halo is not

On the basis of a conservative, minimal set of observational constraints an all-MACHO halo cannot yet be excluded, although in most viable models of the Galaxy the halo MACHO fraction is between 0% and 30%, consistent with expectations for a universe whose primary component is cold dark matter.
