Description

The COSINE-100 experiment aims to investigate the dark matter-induced annual modulation signal previously observed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. Commencing its physics operations in September 2016, the experiment concluded its initial phase in March 2023 at the Yangyang underground laboratory in Korea, employing 106 kg of low-background NaI(Tl) detectors. To further enhance light collection capabilities, the detector has been upgraded for continued research at the Yemilab, a new underground laboratory in Korea. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the experiment's current status, along with recent physics results, including a comprehensive analysis of the annual modulation search utilizing the complete COSINE-100 dataset.
