Dark Matter Direct Detection Searches with COSINE Experiment

COSINE-100 is a direct detection dark matter search experiment that uses Thallium-doped Sodium Iodide, NaI(Tl) as its target detector material. The detector has been collecting data since September 2016 with continuous stable operation. It consists of ~106 kg of low background NaI(Tl) detectors submerged in a 2 tons liquid scintillator veto counter. The basic goal of the experiment is to test the annual modulation signal for Dark Matter - NaI(Tl) recoils reported by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. In this talk, I will present the status of COSINE-100, including the recent results on WIMP and annual modulation search, and prospects for the next phase, COSINE-200.
