Daemons: Detection at Pulkovo, Gran Sasso, and Soudan
  During a week of the March maximum in 2011, two oppositely installed
direction-sensitive TEU-167d Dark Electron Multipliers (DEMs) recorded a flux
of daemons from the near-Earth almost circular heliocentric orbits (NEACHOs).
The flux measured from above is f \approx (8\pm3)\times10^-7 cm^-2 s^-1, and
that from below is twice smaller. The difference may be due both to specific
design features of the TEUs themselves, and to dissimilarities in the slope of
trajectories along which objects are coming from above or from below. It is
shown that the daemon paradigm enables a quantitative interpretation of DAMA
and CoGeNT experiments with no additional hypotheses. Both the experiments
record a daemon flux of f ~ 10^-6 cm^-2 s^-1 from strongly elongated
Earth-crossing heliocentric orbits (SEECHOs), predecessors of NEACHOs.
Recommendations are given for processing of DAMA/LIBRA data, which
unambiguously suggest that, in approximately half of cases (when there occur
double events in the detector, rejected in processing under a single-hit
criterion), the signals being recorded are successively excited by a single
SEECHO object along a path of ~1 m, i.e., this is not a WIMP. It is noted that
due regard to cascade events and pair interaction of ions will weaken the
adverse influence exerted by the blocking effect on the channeling of iodine
ions knocked out in NaI(Tl) crystal. This influence will become not so
catastrophic as it follows from simplified semi-analytical models of the
process: one might expect the energy of up to ~10% of primary recoil iodine
ions will be converted to the scintillation light.
