title = "Kr 83 m calibration of the 2013 LUX dark matter search",
abstract = "LUX was the first dark matter experiment to use a Kr83m calibration source. In this paper, we describe the source preparation and injection. We also present several Kr83m calibration applications in the context of the 2013 LUX exposure, including the measurement of temporal and spatial variation in scintillation and charge signal amplitudes, and several methods to understand the electric field within the time projection chamber.",

This research was conducted using computational resources and services at the Center for Computation and Visualization, Brown University, and also the Yale Science Research Software Core. The Rb83 used in this research to produce 83 mKr was supplied by the U.S. DOE Office of Science by the Isotope Program in the Office of Nuclear Physics. We thank Kevin Charbonneau at Yale University for his significant contributions to the dosing of the 83 mKr generators used in this work. We gratefully acknowledge the logistical and technical support and the access to laboratory infrastructure provided to us by SURF and its personnel at Lead, South Dakota.
