We perform an independent search for annual modulation caused by dark matter-induced scatterings in the recently released COSINE-100 data. We test the hypothesis that the data contains a sinusoidal modulation against the null hypothesis…
We perform a Bayesian model comparison test between a sinusoidal modulation model and a constant value model using about three years of combined COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 data. We use both uniform priors and normal priors (based on DAMA…

The ANAIS experiment is intended to search for dark matter annual modulation with ultrapure NaI(Tl) scintillators in order to provide a model independent confirmation or refutation of the long-standing DAMA/LIBRA positive annual modulation…
In a recent paper [arXiv:2002.00459], Buttazzo et al. show how the annually modulated rate of the DAMA experiments can be possibly interpreted as an artefact due to the interplay between a time-dependent background and the method to account…
The annual modulation signal, claimed to be consistent with dark matter as observed by DAMA/LIBRA in a sodium-iodide based detector, has persisted for over two decades. COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 were designed to test the claim directly using…
The annual modulation measured by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment can be explained by the interaction of dark matter WIMPs in NaI(Tl) scintillator detectors. Other experiments, with different targets or techniques, exclude the region of…
