WIMP search by the DAMA experiment at Gran Sasso

Abstract

DAMA is searching for rare processes by developing and using several kinds of radiopure scintillators: in particular, NaI(Tl), liquid Xenon and CaF$_2$(Eu). The main results are here summarized with particular attention to the investigation of the WIMP annual modulation signature.
