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

D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo +95

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 sectio…
