Constraints on Effective Field Theory Couplings Using 311.2 days of LUX Data

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +94

We report here the results of an Effective Field Theory (EFT) WIMP search analysis using LUX data. We build upon previous LUX analyses by extending the search window to include nuc…
