چکیده
DAMA is an observatory for rare processes based on the development and use of various kinds of radiopure scintillators. Several low background setups have been realized with time passing and many rare processes have been investigated. Main activities are briefly summarized in the following and the main arguments on the the results achieved in the investigation of the WIMP annual modulation signature are addressed. Next perspectives are also mentioned.

Pediatrician’s perspectives on discharge against medical advice (DAMA) among pediatric patients: a qualitative study
BACKGROUND The phenomenon of discharge against medical advice (DAMA) among pediatric patients places pediatricians in a dilemma between respect for the parent's decision and the desire to provide complete care for the vulnerable child-patient. Little has been written about factors that affect a pediatrician's decision to allow a parent to discharge his child against medical advice. This qualita...
متن کاملDischarge against Medical Advice among Inpatients with Heart Disease in Iran
BACKGROUND Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) is a relatively common problem worldwide. We sought to determine the prevalence of and reasons for DAMA among inpatients of our cardiac center. METHODS From a total of 20289 discharges from our cardiac teaching hospital, 992 (4.9%) patients at a minimum age of 18 years were cases of DAMA. After excluding 49 cases due to missing data, we retro...
متن کاملDark Matter Investigation by Dama at Gran Sasso
Experimental observations and theoretical arguments at Galaxy and larger scales have suggested that a large fraction of the Universe is composed by Dark Matter particles. This has motivated the DAMA experimental efforts to investigate the presence of such particles in the galactic halo by exploiting a model independent signature and very highly radiopure setup in deep underground. Few introduct...
متن کاملMirror dark matter and the new DAMA / LIBRA results : A simple explanation for a beautiful experiment
Recently, the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has convincingly confirmed the DAMA/NaI annual modulation signal, experimentally demonstrating the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in the halo of our galaxy. Meanwhile, in another part of town, other experiments such as CDMS and XENON10 have not detected any evidence for dark matter. One promising dark matter candidate which can reconcile the positive D...
متن کاملFirst results from DAMA/LIBRA and the combined results with DAMA/NaI
The highly radiopure 250 kg NaI(Tl) DAMA/ LIBRA set-up is running at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the INFN. In this paper the first result obtained by exploiting the model independent annual modulation signature for Dark Matter (DM) particles is presented. It refers to an exposure of 0.53 ton×yr. The collected DAMA/LIBRA data satisfy all the many peculiarities of the DM annual modulati...
متن کاملImplications of the DAMA / NaI and CDMS experiments for mirror matter - type dark matter
We re-analyse the implications of the DAMA/NaI experiment for mirror matter-type dark matter, taking into account information from the energy dependence of the DAMA annual modulation signal. This is combined with the null results from the CDMS experiment, leading to fairly well defined allowed regions of parameter space. The allowed regions of parameter space will be probed in the near future b...
