Abstract
Profiting of the favourable conditions offered by the Gran Sasso underground laboratory and of the several low-background DAMA set-ups, many and competitive results have been obtained for rare processes. Here the main results will be briefly resumed and some more details about the latest activities will be given. In particular, the searches on ββdecays of 106Cd and 116Cd and the perspectives of a complementary investigation on those Dark Matter (DM) candidates inducing just nuclear recoils, by exploiting the directionality approach with the anisotropic ZnWO4 scintillators, will be underlined.
Highlights
DAMA (DArk MAtter) is a pioneer project for the investigation of Dark Matter (DM), but it is very active in the search for many other rare processes and in the development of new highly radiopure crystal scintillators
Many important results or competitive limits have been obtained in the investigation of various rare processes in many experiments performed at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN in collaboration with researchers from INR-Kyiv and other institutions
The important results obtained in the investigation of DM with the DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA set-ups are discussed in another article of this volume
Summary
DAMA (DArk MAtter) is a pioneer project for the investigation of DM, but it is very active in the search for many other rare processes and in the development of new highly radiopure crystal scintillators. Many important results or competitive limits have been obtained in the investigation of various rare processes in many experiments performed at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN in collaboration with researchers from INR-Kyiv and other institutions. The important results obtained in the investigation of DM with the DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA set-ups are discussed in another article of this volume. The main results obtained in the searches for rare nuclear processes with all the DAMA set-ups will be briefly summarized and some more details about the latest activities will be given: the searches for ββ decays in 106Cd and 116Cd and the perspectives for the investigation of the directionality approach with the ZnWO4 detectors
