I have several research experiences, and I am wondering if it is a good idea to bring some papers about my researches...Would it be pointless to bring them?

If they're your published papers, sure...I don't have anything published, but I have done about 150 hours of research and wasn't asked anything about it at any interview so far.
 
i would not bring background papers, you should be comfortable just talking about your research without any aids. Don't stress too much, if you have scored an interview, you are already a shoe in, the interviewers just want to make sure they aren't accepting psychos into their school. Be yourself, don't talk about things that are too controversial 🙂
good luck
