Our latest XENON1T paper on details of our analysis was presented at the Low Radioactivity Techniques, a conference focused on low background experiments. In the talk (that you can find here), the response model of the detector, the challenges of background modeling, as well as the used techniques were described. In a low background experiment is often hard to asses the expected distribution of events due to lack of statistics and to many subtle effects. In the talk a novel technique was described to introduce a well-motivated systematic uncertainty to the background model based on a calibration sample, which can be relevant to other low background experiments.
