We analyze the DAMA/Libra-phase2 modulation result using a basis of 16 effective operators describing the WIMP interaction with photons, gluons and quarks up to mass dimension seven. For each operator we fix the effective theory at the scale of 2 GeV and parametrize WIMP-quark interactions in terms of two independent couplings for up-type and down-type quarks. We discuss the connection with the non-relativistic limit of the effective theory in terms of operators invariant by Galilean transformations, and the impact of the ensuing momentum-dependent Wilson coefficients due to long-range interactions or light meson poles. Most relativistic operators yield a good fit of the DAMA modulation effect, although for parameters excluded by the constraints from XENON1T and PICO60.
