Dark matter direct detection search with the COSINE-100 experiment
Speaker
Hafizh Prihtiadi Institute for Basic Science (Daejeon, Korea)
Abstract
Results from astronomical observations indicate the presence of a large amount of dark matter (DM) in the space. However, there are no reports of observations from direct detection experiments, except claims from the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration more than two decades. The DAMA/LIRBA collaboration observed a positive signal that could be generated by dark matter interactions with nuclei in NaI(Tl) crystals. COSINE-100 is a direct detection dark experiment designed initially to confirm or refute DAMA/LIBRA's results using the same target materials, and has been continuously operated since September 2016 at the 700-m-deep Yangyang Underground Laboratory (Y2L) in Korea. In this seminar, I present the overview of COSINE-100, including the physics analysis of dark matter search. In addition, I will review ongoing R&D projects and the plan for the next phase of the experiment, COSINE-200.
