Examining the time dependence of DAMA’s modulation amplitude

Abstract If dark matter is composed of weakly interacting particles, Earth’s orbital motion may induce a small annual variation in the rate at which these particles interact in a terrestrial detector. The DAMA collaboration has identified at a $$9.3\sigma $$ 9.3σ confidence level such an annual modu...
