DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sophia Hollick (University of Zaragoza)\nThe evidenc
 e for the existence of dark matter from astrophysical observations is irre
 futable. However\, there has not been a conclusive direct detection of dar
 k matter that does not rely on gravitational interaction with visible matt
 er. One experiment\, DAMA/LIBRA\, claimed to have observed an annual modul
 ation signal in a sodium-iodide-based detector consistent with that expect
 ed from dark matter which persisted for over two decades. \n\nThe ANAIS (A
 nnual modulation with NaI(Tl) Scintillators) experiment\, housed in LSC\, 
 is intended to directly test this claim by searching for the dark matter a
 nnual modulation with ultrapure NaI(Tl) scintillators. These efforts provi
 de a model independent confirmation or refutation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal
  by using the same experimental target. Since data taking began in August 
 2017 and has been continuing smoothly\, data for six years of exposure sho
 w consistency with the no modulation hypothesis to ~4σ. Additionally\, th
 e impact of different scintillation quenching factors\, the main systemati
 cs in the comparison with the DAMA/LIBRA results\, has also been investiga
 ted.  Finally\, there has been a further exclusion of the DAMA results by 
 the combined annual modulation search for dark matter with the COSINE-100 
 experiment\, located in South Korea. \n\nThis talk will present the most r
 ecent results of the ANAIS-112 dark matter search\, our incorporation of t
 he quenching factor in our comparison with DAMA/LIBRA\, and our joint dark
  matter search with the COSINE-100 collaboration.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.u
