Abstract
It is shown that the new data of the DAMA/NaI detector, combined with recent calculations of nuclear structure functions, provide the most s tringent upper bounds on the WIMP-nucleon cross-section both for spin- dependent and for scalar interactions, It is proved that, for the firs t time, data from an experiment of direct search for WIMPs allow the e xploration of a region of the supersymmetric parameter space not yet f ully investigated at accelerators.
