COSINE is a NaI(Tl) direct detection dark matter experiment, a collaboration between the DM-Ice and KIMS experiments. The first phase of the experiment deployed 106 kg of NaI(Tl) at Yangyang underground laboratory in South Korea. COSINE-100 was started taking data in summer 2016. Detector R&D for future upgrade of COSINE-200 is extensively ongoing.
