The ANAIS (Annual Modulation with NaI(Tl) Scintillators) experiment aims at the confirmation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal using the same target and technique at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. 250 kg of ultrapure NaI(Tl) crystals will be used as target, divided into 20 modules, 12.5 kg mass each, and coupled to two high efficiency photomultipliers. The ANAIS-25 set-up consists of two...

SABRE (Sodium-iodide with Active Background REjection) is a new NaI(Tl) experiment designed to test the DAMA/LIBRA claim for a positive WIMP-dark matter annual modulation signal. SABRE will consist of highly pure NaI(Tl) crystals in an active liquid scintillator veto that will be placed deep underground. The scintillator vessel will provide a veto against external backgrounds and those...

The high sensitivity KamLAND-PICO project to search for WIMPS dark matter is proposed. A highly radiopure NaI(Tl) scintillator has been developed for the WIMPs search. The aim of this project is to prove/disprove the annual modulation reported by DAMA and to investigate further the WIMPs in the much lower cross section region.
KamLAND acts as a high veto detector for PICO-LON NaI(Tl)...

"We report new limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interaction cross-section using 39.5 kg-days of data taken with a p-type point-contact germanium detector of 840 g fiducial mass at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory. Crucial to this study is the understanding of the selection procedures and, in particular, the bulk-surface events differentiation at the sub-keV range. The...

"Axions are DM candidates that can be produced in the solar core. The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is a helioscope looking for axions coming from the solar core to Earth. The experiment, located at Geneva (Switzerland) is able to follow the Sun during sunrise and sunset. Four x-ray detectors are mounted on both ends of the magnet waiting for a photon from axion-to-photon conversion due...

CDEX collaboration has reported on a new experimental limit for WIMP dark matter using a 994 g p-type point-contact germanium (PPCGe) detector based on the China Jinping underground Laboratory (CJPL). The energy threshold achieved by the PPCGe detector was 400 eVee. According to the about 14.6 daykg live data, we placed the spin-independent cross-section N = 1.75 ×10-40 cm2 at 90% confidence...
