Main arguments on the Dark Matter particle direct detection approach are addressed on the basis of the work and of the results of the about 100 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) DAMA experiment (DAMA/NaI), which has been operative at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. for more than one decade, including the preparation. The effectiveness of the WIMP model independent annual modulation signature is pointed out by discussing the results obtained over 7 annual cycles (107731 kg day total exposure); the WIMP presence in the galactic halo is strongly supported at 6.3 standard deviation C.L. The complexity of the corollary model dependent quests for a candidate particle is also addressed and several of the many possible scenarios are examined.

- Dark matter detection in the light of recent experimental results (2003, methodology): “lated to the scale of the symmetry breaking. In particular, the coupling of an axion with two fermions of mass mf, is given by ga ∼ mf/fa. Likewise, ma ∼ Λ2 QCD /fa, i.e. ma ∼ 10−5 eV × 1012 GeV fa . (5) A lower bound on fa can be obtained from the requirement that axion emission does not over-cool ”
