Highlights on signals from Dark Matter particles

Many experimental observations and theoretical arguments have pointed out that a large fraction of the Universe is composed by Dark Matter particles. Many possibilities are open on the nature and interaction types of such relic particles. In particular, this paper summarizes the main results obtained by exploiting the model independent Dark Matter annual modulation signature for the presence of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo by DAMA experiment.
