Assuming for WIMPs a Maxwellian velocity distribution in the Galaxy we explore in a systematic way the relative sensitivity of present and projected Dark Matter direct detection experiments to each of the 14 couplings that parameterize the most general non-relativistic effective Hamiltonian allowed by Galilean invariance for the elastic scattering off nuclei of WIMPs up to spin 1/2. We perform...

The PICOLON project aims to search for cosmic dark matter candidates by means of highly radiopure inorganic crystal. Present detector is NaI(Tl) since it is needed to verify an annually-modulating signal in low energy region below 6 keVee. The annual modulation which is supposed to be a WIMPs signal has been observed only by DAMA/LIBRA group. All other groups which applied other target nuclei...

The SABRE (Sodium Iodide with Active Background Rejection Experiment) project aims to directly reveal the Dark Matter through the annual modulation signature due to the Earth's motion within the galactic halo. The DAMA experiment, at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS, Italy), has detected such modulation over a period of 14 years but its results appear in contrast with other Dark Matter...
