ANAIS-112 has completed five-years of data taking in August 2022

ANAIS-112 has completed five years of data taking in August 2022 with an excellent duty cycle. Sensitivity prospects point at more than 4 standard deviation sensitivity to DAMA/LIBRA result on annual modulation. Analysis of data is in progress. Two more years of data taking have been scheduled to reach five sigma sensitivity.

Reanalysis of the first three years showed no modulation in the data, being the result incompatible with DAMA/LIBRA with statistical confidence of 3 standard deviation. See: https://gifna.unizar.es/anais/?p=1322
