Description
An overview of the latest results of DAMA/LIBRA-phase1 will be presented and
the evidence obtained by exploiting the model independent annual modulation
signature for the presence of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo will be discussed.
The data of the former DAMA/NaI and of the DAMA/LIBRA-phase1 satisfy all the
many requirements of the Dark Matter annual modulation signature at high confidence
level. Possible hints of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo from some other
experiments using different procedures and different techniques (such as CoGeNT,
CRESST and CDMS II) will be discussed. Results, implications and experimental
perspectives will be addressed.
