Description
An overview of the searches for weak interacting massive particles (WIMPs) through detection of their scattering off various target nuclei carried out in the Canfranc Tunnel Astroparticle Laboratory (at 675 and at 2450 metres of water equivalent (m.w.e.)) is given. The main experimental results both for conventional (COSME, IGEX and NaI-32) and for cryogenic detectors (ROSEBUD) are sketched, and a briefing on the forthcoming experiment ANAIS is also presented. The results of a solar axion search are also reported. (author)
