A thorough understanding of the background sources is mandatory in any
experiment searching for rare events. The ANAIS (Annual Modulation with NaI(Tl)
Scintillators) experiment aims at the confirmation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal at
the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC). Two NaI(Tl) crystals of 12.5 kg each
produced by Alpha Spectra have been taking data since December 2012. The
complete background model of these detectors and more precisely in the region
of interest will be described. Preliminary background analysis of a new 12.5 kg
crystal received at Canfranc in March 2015 will be presented too. Finally, the
power of anticoincidence rejection in the region of interest has been analyzed
in a 4x 5 12.5 kg detector matrix.Comment: Contributed to the 11th Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs,
