Abstract :
An experiment to search for hypothetical neutralino dark matter using lithium fluoride bolometer array is underway. This bolometer array consists of eight pieces of 21 g LiF bolometers. Fluorine has large sensitivity for axially coupled neutralino compared with other nuclei. We report on the first results from the pilot run in a shallow depth site (15 m w.e.). From the measured energy spectra the exclusion limits for the cross section of the elastic neutralino scattering off protons are evaluated.
