Abstract
We perform an extensive study of the DAMA annual modulation data in the context of inelastic dark matter. We find that inelastic dark matter with mass mχ≳15 GeV is excluded at the 95% confidence level by the combination of DAMA spectral information and results from other direct detection experiments. However, at smaller mχ, inelastic dark matter constitutes a possible solution to the DAMA puzzle.
