The ANAIS (Annual modulation with NaI(Tl) Scintillators) experiment is intended to search for dark matter annual modulation with ultrapure NaI(Tl) scintillators in order to provide a model independent confirmation or refutation of the long-standing DAMA/LIBRA positive annual modulation signal in the low energy detection rate, using the same target and technique. Other experiments exclude the...

81. COSINUS - cross-checking the DAMA/LIBRA signal using cryogenic NaI detectors

The signal measured by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment matches the expectations of an annually modulating signal caused by particle dark matter (DM) from the galactic halo with very high statistical significance. At the same time, this result is in strong tension with null results from many other DM direct detection experiments. These tensions, however, critically depend on assumptions about the...

17. The SABRE South Experiment at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory

Sharry Kapoor (The University of Sydney and ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter and Particle Physics)

6/6/25, 10:40 AM

DM Direct Detection

Contributed Talk

SABRE is an international collaboration that will operate similar particle detectors in the Northern (SABRE North) and Southern Hemispheres (SABRE South). This innovative approach distinguishes possible dark matter signals from seasonal backgrounds, a pioneering strategy only possible with a southern hemisphere experiment. SABRE South is located at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory...

33. Advances in searching for axions with MADMAX

Dagmar Kreikemeyer-Lorenzo (Max Planck Institute for Physics)

DM Direct Detection

Contributed Talk

The MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX) is a future experiment for the search of axion dark matter. Its detection principle is based on the conversion of axions into photons in a magnetic field. The axion to photon conversion is enhanced by a booster made of dielectric disks placed in front of a mirror. In its final version, MADMAX aims to scan the uncharted QCD axion mass...
