Description

COSINE-100 is a dark matter direct detection experiment aimed at verifying DAMA/LIBRA's claim of observing annual modulation signals using NaI(Tl) crystals. Between September 2016 and March 2023, the COSINE-100 experiment collected physics data at the Yangyang underground laboratory in Korea using 106 kg of NaI(Tl) crystals. The detector assembly design is currently being upgraded to increase light collection efficiency in preparation for new operation at the Yemilab, a new underground laboratory in Korea, which is planned to start from October 2023. Moreover, COSINE collaboration is developing a high-purity NaI(Tl) detector for the next phase COSINE-200 experiment. This presentation will provide an update on the current status and future prospects of both COSINE-100 and COSINE-200 experiments.
