  The DAMA/LIBRA-phase1 and the former DAMA/NaI data (cumulative exposure 1.33
ton $\times$ yr, corresponding to 14 annual cycles) give evidence at 9.3
$\sigma$ C.L. for the presence of Dark Matter (DM) particles in the galactic
halo, on the basis of the exploited model independent DM annual modulation
signature by using highly radio-pure NaI(Tl) target. Results and comparisons
will be shortly addressed as well as perspectives of the presently running
DAMA/LIBRA-phase2. Finally, some arguments arisen in the discussion section of
this workshop are mentioned in the Appendix.
