Possible Perspectives

Several possibilities for future experiments by using extremely radiopure NaI(Tl) have been identified. In particular we remind here:

  • a multi-purpose ton set-up. At present - after a devoted R&D - the 2nd generation DAMA/LIBRA set-up (~250 kg higher radiopure) is in operation and R&D-III toward the possible ton set-up is in progress;


  • the LAMA proposal to measure the neutrino magnetic moment deep underground with artificial neutrino source;


  • possible multi-ton NaI(Tl) set-up of ultimate radiopurity for solar neutrino spectroscopy.
