1210.7548 (Josef Pradler et al.)

A reply to the criticism of our work (arXiv:1210.5501) by the DAMA collaboration    [PDF]

Josef Pradler, Itay Yavin
We reply to a critique of our paper arXiv:1210.5501 by the DAMA collaboration which appeared in arXiv:1210.6199. Our original claim that the observed background levels are likely to require a large modulation fraction of any putative signal holds. In fact, in light of DAMA's recent comment our claim is further corroborated. We identify the source of the discrepancy between our own analysis and DAMA's claimed levels of unmodulated background. Our analysis indicates that the background in the signal region as reported by DAMA is likely underestimated.
