The DAMA/LIBRA experiment is running at LNGS; it has a sensitive mass of about 250 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) and it is mainly devoted to the investigation of Dark Matter (DM) particles in the Galactic halo by exploiting the model independent DM annual modulation signature. The present DAMA/LIBRA experiment and the former DAMA/NaI one (the rst generation experiment having an exposed mass of about 100 kg) have released so far results corresponding to a total exposure of 1.17 ton yr, collected over 13 annual cycles. They provide a model independent evidence of the presence of DM particles in the galactic halo at 8.9 C.L.. Some obtained results are shortly summarized and future perspectives mentioned.

Abstract
The DAMA/LIBRA experiment is running at LNGS; it has a sensitive mass of about 250 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) and it is mainly devoted to the investigation of Dark Matter (DM) particles in the Galactic halo by exploiting the model independent DM annual modulation signature. The present DAMA/LIBRA experiment and the former DAMA/NaI one (the rst generation experiment having an exposed mass of about 100 kg) have released so far results corresponding to a total exposure of 1.17 ton yr, collected over 13 annual cycles. They provide a model independent evidence of the presence of DM particles in the galactic halo at 8.9 C.L.. Some obtained results are shortly summarized and future perspectives mentioned.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
