Recent results of the dark matter search with NaI(T1) detectors at boulby mine

2003

Abstract The NAIAD (NaI Advanced Detector) experiment for WIMP dark matter searches at Boulby Mine (UK) is described. The detector consists of an array of encapsulated and unencapsulated NaI(T1) crystals with high light yield. Six crystals are collecting data at present. Data accumulated by four of them have been used to set new limits on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section.
