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 …
