Particle Dark Matter in DAMA/LIBRA
arXiv:1007.0595
Abstract
The present DAMA/LIBRA experiment and the former DAMA/NaI have cumulatively released so far the results obtained with the data collected over 13 annual cycles (total exposure: 1.17 ton $\times$ yr). They give a model independent evidence of the presence of DM particles in the galactic halo on the basis of the DM annual modulation signature at 8.9 $Ï$ C.L. for the cumulative exposure.
