It's well known that the rate of cosmic ray muons depends from the atmospheric temperature, and that for events with a single muon the peak of rate is in summer, in the northern hemisphere. n 2015 the MINOS experiment, in USA, reported the seasonal modulation of the rate of cosmic ray multiple-muon events at two underground sites, the MINOS near detector and the MINOS far detector site at...

191. Dama/LIBRA

Pierluigi Belli (ROMA2)

The DAMA/LIBRA set-up (about 250 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl)) is running at Gran Sasso underground Laboratory. The positive results in terms of the model independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature and the results of recent investigations on possible diurnal effects and their implications will be presented. Presently DAMA/LIBRA is in data taking in the new configuration...

192. XENON1T

Prof. Uwe Oberlack (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)

Establishing the nature of Dark Matter is one of the great challenges in science today. The XENON Dark Matter project has successfully established the dual phase liquid xenon time projection chamber as the world-leading technique in searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). This year, we are starting the third generation of Dark Matter searches with the XENON1T experiment,...
