The DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has been observing an annual modulation signal expected to be caused by the dark matter interaction with their NaI(Tl) crystal detectors. There have been many global efforts to test the signal, and COSINE-100 is an experiment to verify it also using NaI(Tl) detectors. Data have been reliably acquired for 6.5 years since September 2016 at the Yangyang Underground...
The SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) experiment aims to detect an annual rate modulation from dark matter interactions in ultra-high purity NaI(Tl) crystals in order to provide a model independent test of the signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA. It is made up of two separate detectors; SABRE South located at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL), in regional...
PandaX experiment uses xenon as the target to detect weak and rare physics signals, including dark matter and neutrinos at CJPL in China. The new generation detector with 4-ton xenon in the sensitive volume, PandaX-4T, has pushed the constraints on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-section to a new level with its commissioning run data. In this talk, I will give an overview of PandaX-4 T's latest...
A promising strategy for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter is to look for phonon excitations in crystals. The crystal targets used in such experiments are typically not completely pure, and have impurities or defects. Frenkel defect is an example of a point defect where an atom is dislodged from its position and occupies an interstitial position leaving behind a vacancy. Foreign atoms...
