Scientific paper

The status of dark matter searches with inorganic scintillator detectors at Boulby mine is reviewed. Results of a test experiment with CsI(Tl) crystal are presented. The objectives of this experiment were to study anomalous fast events and ways to remove this background. We found clear indications that these events were due to surface contamination of crystals by alphas, probably from radon decay. A new array of unencapsulated NaI(Tl) crystals immersed in liquid paraffin or nitrogen atmosphere is under construction at Boulby. Such an approach allows us to control the surface of the crystals. Preliminary results of WIMP searches with NaI(Tl) detectors at Boulby are presented.
