LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a $^{83\mathrm{m}}\mathrm{Kr}$ calibration source. In this paper, we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several $^{83\mathrm{m}}\mathrm{Kr}$ calibration applications in the context of the 2013 LUX exposure, including the measurement of temporal and spatial variation in scintillation and charge …
