TLDR
The Project In CAnada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects (PICASSO) at SNOLAB searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) interactions with 19 F. The detection process allows a highly efficient suppression of background from cosmic muons, γ rays and electrons as mentioned in this paper.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the results obtained with a further exposure of 0.34 ton x yr are presented, which refers to two further annual cycles collected one before and one after the first DAMA/LIBRA upgrade occurred on September/October 2008.

Compatibility of DAMA/LIBRA dark matter detection with other searches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of channeling on the DAMA/NaI/DAMA/LIBRA energy spectrum of the combined DAMA modulation data, which may be interpreted as a signal for the existence of weakly interacting dark matter (WIMPs) in our galactic halo.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ultrasound analysis to discriminate alpha decay background events from single nuclear recoils, with a lower bound of >99.3% rejection of alpha decay events.

TL;DR: The final results of the Phase II SIMPLE measurements are reported, comprising two run stages of 15 superheated droplet detectors each, with the second stage including an improved neutron shielding and revised nucleation efficiency based on a reanalysis of previously reported monochromatic neutron irradiations.
