Description
In the direct investigation of the Dark Matter particles in the
galactic halo both model independent and model dependent strategies with
various target materials are exploited. In particular, recent results
obtained by the DAMA/LIBRA set-up, exploiting the model independent
annual modulation signature for Dark Matter particles, will be summarized.
The data satisfy at high confidence level all the many requirements of the
Dark Matter annual modulation signature. Features of the detectors in
the field, experimental and theoretical uncertainties,
and their implications in the interpretation and comparison of different
kinds of results will be discussed as fundamental aspects.
