Abstract

Neutral strongly interacting massive particles (SIMPs) were searched for at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory by using two “planes” of detectors in the 100kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) DAMA setup. SIMP exclusion plots and model-independent limits on neutral nuclearites have been significantly improved.
