DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alexandre Kozlov ()\nNature of the Dark Matter is on
 e of the most fundamental physics problems. While practically all currentl
 y running Dark Matter experiments yield no positive result the DAMA/LIBRA 
 collaboration continues to claim observation of the Dark Matter signal in 
 the NaI(Tl) detector located deep underground. The new data released from 
 the DAMA/LIBRA phase-2 experiment favors presence of a modulated signal fr
 om the Dark Matter with proper features at 11.9 sigma C.L. However\, due t
 o importance of the problem this observation requires verification by othe
 r groups of independent researchers.\n\nThis talk describes development of
  the ultra-low background NaI(Tl) detector modules by the KamLAND collabor
 ation. It covers several subjects: the research infrastructure we built at
  the Kamioka mine (including supplementary neutron and radon detectors)\, 
 a new laboratory for growth of ultra-low background crystals\, selection o
 f ultra-low background detector components\, and experimental data taken w
 ith new NaI(Tl) ultra-low background test modules. Also it explains advant
 ages of using a central ultra-low background region of the KamLAND liquid 
 scintillator neutrino detector as a location for a large Dark Matter detec
 tor made of isolated NaI(Tl) modules.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/
