Description
New improved limits have now been obtained for the spin-dependent interaction cross-sections in NaI for weakly interacting dark matter particles assuming they are responsible for the dark matter halo of our Galaxy. The underground facility and experimental configuration are described together with data extraction techniques. The background rate in a 1 kg NaI(Tl) crystal scintillator of low radioactivity construction is reported after exposure in the underground facility. A minimum value of 1.5 10-33 cm2 is obtained for a 25 GeV WIMP mass. The results are compared in a consistent model independent way with previous data. (author). 12 refs., 3 figs
