▪ Abstract This article reviews the astrophysics and cosmological evidence for nonbaryonic
dark matter (DM). It covers historical, current, and future experiments that look for direct …

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 …

Many observations suggest that much of the matter of the universe is nonbaryonic. Recently,
the DAMA NaI dark matter direct detection experiment reported an annual modulation in …

The highly radiopure≃ 250 kg NaI (Tl) DAMA/LIBRA set-up is running at the Gran Sasso
National Laboratory of the INFN. In this paper the first result obtained by exploiting the model …

The bible of gas chromatography-offering everything the professional and the novice need
to know about running, maintaining, and interpreting the results from GC Analytical chemists …

We review the current status of liquid noble gas radiation detectors with energy threshold in
the keV range, which are of interest for direct dark matter searches, measurement of …

Semi-empirical method of calculation of quenching factors for scintillators is described. It is
based on classical Birks formula with the total stopping powers for electrons and ions which …

We perform a generalized analysis of data from WIMP search experiments for pointlike
WIMPs of arbitrary spin and general Lorenz-invariant WIMP-nucleus interaction. We …

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