TL;DR: A background model of the ER interactions in DEAP-3600 was developed and is described in this paper, which is based on several components which are expected from radioisotopes in the LAr, from ex situ material assay measurements, and from dedicated independent in situ analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the pulseshape of electromagnetic background events in the energy region of interest for dark matter searches, which is composed of LAr scintillation physics, including the so-called intermediate component, the time response of the TPB wavelength shifter, including delayed TPB emission at $${\mathcal {O}}$(m) time-scales, and the PMT response.
