PICOLON (Pure Inorganic Crystal Observatory for LOw-energy Neutr(al)ino) aims to investigate rare events in the field of astroparticle physics, for example, dark matter and double beta decay. The dark matter problem is one of the most important subjects in cosmology and particle physics. Although there are many evidences for the existence of the dark matter, no significant signal has been...

The DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has claimed that an annual modulation signal which is consistent with signal induced by the dark matter interactions is observed by the NaI(Tl) crystal detector. In order to test the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration’s claim, the COSINE experiment searches for interactions of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using the same target material. The COSINE-100...

COSINE-100 is a direct dark matter detection experiment that aims to test DAMA/LIBRA’s claim of dark matter discovery using 106 kg of low-background NaI(Tl) detectors submerged in a 2-tonne liquid scintillator veto. The physics run of the experiment began in September 2016, and a 3.5 count/kg/day/keV background level within the 2-6 keV region of interest has been achieved. Several physics...

DAMA/LIBRA observation of an annual modulation in the detection rate compatible with that expected for dark matter is one of the most puzzling results in the field. ANAIS-112 experiment, using 112.5 kg of NaI(Tl) as target, is taking data at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Spain since August 2017 aiming at testing this result using the same target and technique. Preliminary results...

Even though there exists cosmological evidence of dark matter (DM) its terrestrial signal has not been observed yet. With no concrete hints of DM from any high energy physics experiment, a bottom-up approach is needed in the analysis of direct detection data. Specifically, the DAMA modulation effect provides a useful benchmark to test such strategies. For instance, we show that analyzing the...
