Search for Annual Modulation in Combined ANAIS 112 and COSINE 100 Data using Bayesian Model Comparison

Abstract
We perform a Bayesian model comparison test between a sinusoidal modulation model and a constant value model using about three years of combined COSINE-100 and ANAIS-112 data. We use both uniform priors and normal priors (based on DAMA best-fit values) for the angular frequency and phase of the cosine signal. We find natural log of Bayes factor for the cosine model compared to the constant value model to be less than 1.15 for the data in both 1-6 keV and 2-6 keV energy intervals. This shows that there is no evidence for cosine signal from dark matter interactions in the combined ANAIS-112/COSINE-100 data. Our analysis codes have also been made publicly available.
