Annual modulations from secular variations: relaxing DAMA?

First Report of Mycobacterium bovis Isolation from a European Fallow Deer (Dama Dama Dama) in Iran

At present, most of Iran is free of bovine tuberculosis (TB). The strategy of control and eradication in Iran involves a tuberculation test and slaughter of reactors, a procedure transformed the present-day prevalence of TB into a sporadic occurrence. This paper describes the first report of bovine tuberculosis in a European fallow deer (Dama dama dama) in Iran. The deer was emaciated and found...

Fractal Analysis for Geomagnetic Secular Variations

Comment on "Fitting the Annual Modulation in DAMA with Neutrons from Muons and Neutrinos"

A Comment on the Letter by J. H. Davis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 081302 (2014)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.113.081302.

Fitting the Annual Modulation in DAMA with Neutrons from Muons and Neutrinos

The DAMA/LIBRA experiment searches for evidence of dark matter scattering off nuclei. Data from DAMA show 9.2σ evidence for an annual modulation, consistent with dark matter having a cross section around 2 × 10−40 cm. However, this is excluded by other direct detection experiments. We propose an alternative source of annual modulation in the form of neutrons, which have been liberated from mate...
