Abstract
A search for cold dark matter has been carried out at the Canfranc Und erground Laboratory (Spain) with 32.1 kg of sodium iodide scintillator s during about two years of data taking. Bounds on WIMP masses and cro ss-sections for an exposure of 4613.6 kg day are presented, both for s pin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP-matter interactions. The predi cted annual modulation of the signal has been also investigated in 134 2.8 kg day of data, getting exclusion plots stronger than those derive d from the conventional method.
