DESCRIPTION:The evidence for the existence of dark matter from astrophysic
 al observations is strong. However\, there has not been a conclusive direc
 t detection of dark matter that does not rely on gravitational interaction
  with visible matter. One experiment\, DAMA\, claims to have observed an a
 nnual modulation signal in a sodium-iodide-based detector consistent with 
 that expected from dark matter. COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112\, two leading sod
 ium-iodide dark matter experiments\, were designed to test DAMA’s claim 
 directly using the same target material. COSINE-100\, located at Yangyang 
 Underground Laboratory in South Korea\, and ANAIS-112\, located at Canfran
 c Underground Laboratory\, have been taking data since 2016 and 2017\, res
 pectively.  The two experiments have similar sensitivity and have thus fa
 r published results independently.  In this journal club\, I will discuss
  our efforts to combine the data from the two experiments for increased se
 arch sensitivity and share our results.\n\nhttps://agenda.infn.it/event/52
