The NAIAD experiment (NaI Advanced Detector) for WIMP dark matter searches at Boulby mine (UK) is described. The detector consists of an array of encapsulated and unencapsulated NaI(Tl) crystals with high light yield. Six crystals are collecting data at present. Data accumulated by four of them (10.6 kg x year exposure) have been used to set upper limits on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent and WIMP-proton spin-dependent cross-sections. Pulse shape analysis has been applied to discriminate between nuclear recoils, as may be caused by WIMP interactions, and electron recoils due to gamma background. Various calibrations of crystals are presented.

  1. DAMA/LIBRA and dark matter: decisive tension or contrived cancellation

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    DAMA's annual modulation signal is incompatible at >5σ with ANAIS-112 and COSINE-100 under physical dark-matter recoil models; reconciliation requires contrived opposite-sign sodium/iodine tuning.
