Calibration, event reconstruction, data analysis, and limit calculation for the LUX dark matter experiment

Calibration, event reconstruction, data analysis, and limit calculation for the LUX dark matter experiment

The LUX experiment has performed searches for dark-matter particles scattering elastically on xenon nuclei, leading to stringent upper limits on the nuclear scattering cross sections for dark matter. Here, for results derived from $1.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kg}$ days of target exposure in 2013, details of the calibration, event-reconstruction, modeling, and statistical …
