The long-standing model-independent annual modulation effect measured by DAMA deep underground at Gran Sasso Laboratory with different experimental con- figurations is summarized and DAMA/LIBRA–phase2–empowered, presently running, shortly introduced. The evidence of a signal that meets all the requirements of the model- independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature at high C.L. has been confirmed over 22 independent annual cycles with various configurations (DAMA/NaI, DAMA/LIBRA– phase1 and DAMA/LIBRA–phase2); full exposure is 2.86 ton × yr. The experiment is currently collecting data in the DAMA/LIBRA–phase2–empowered configuration with an even lower software energy threshold.

Abstract
The long-standing model-independent annual modulation effect measured by DAMA deep underground at Gran Sasso Laboratory with different experimental con- figurations is summarized and DAMA/LIBRA–phase2–empowered, presently running, shortly introduced. The evidence of a signal that meets all the requirements of the model- independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature at high C.L. has been confirmed over 22 independent annual cycles with various configurations (DAMA/NaI, DAMA/LIBRA– phase1 and DAMA/LIBRA–phase2); full exposure is 2.86 ton × yr. The experiment is currently collecting data in the DAMA/LIBRA–phase2–empowered configuration with an even lower software energy threshold.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
