18. The conversion from keVee to keV recoil energy is found from the quenching factor, 0.09 for I and 0.3 for Na.
19. For DAMA, there are two steps, at lower energy due to I and at higher energy due to Na.
20. Since the DAMA data are not public, we are compelled to leave the analysis to the experimentalists.
