Background decomposition of the first 61.4 kg years of data from Gerda Phase II surviving the LAr veto cut (black dots). The veto model is applied to the existing background pdfs before the cut [28] folding in the probability map $\xi (\overrightarrow{x})$ . Data before the cut is shown as a light blue filled histogram. Shaded bands constructed with the maximally distorted probability maps provide a visualization of the systematic uncertainty affecting each pdf
