TY  - JOUR
AB  - We report here methods and techniques for creating and improving a model thatreproduces the scintillation and ionization response of a dual-phase liquid andgaseous xenon time-projection chamber. Starting with the recent release of theNoble Element Simulation Technique (NEST v2.0), electronic recoil data from the$\beta$ decays of ${}^3$H and ${}^{14}$C in the Large Underground Xenon (LUX)detector were used to tune the model, in addition to external data sets thatallow for extrapolation beyond the LUX data-taking conditions. This paper alsopresents techniques used for modeling complicated temporal and spatial detectorpathologies that can adversely affect data using a simplified model framework.The methods outlined in this report show an example of the robust applicationspossible with NEST v2.0, while also providing the final electronic recoil modeland detector parameters that will used in the new analysis package, the LUXLegacy Analysis Monte Carlo Application (LLAMA), for accurate reproduction ofthe LUX data. As accurate background reproduction is crucial for the success ofrare-event searches, such as dark matter direct detection experiments, thetechniques outlined here can be used in other single-phase and dual-phase xenondetectors to assist with accurate ER background reproduction.
