contents We present a comprehensive mathematical model and experimental measurements for the evolution of a trapped particle ensemble driven by collisions with a room-temperature background vapor. The model accommodates any trap geometry, confining potential, initial trapped distribution, and other experimental details; it only depends on the the probability distribution function $P_t(E)$ for the collision-induced energy transfer to the trapped ensemble. We describe how to find $P_t(E)$ using quantum scattering calculations and how it can be approximated using quantum diffractive universality. We then compare our model to experimental measurements of a $^{87}$Rb ensemble energy evolution exposed to a room temperature background gas of Ar by means of a single parameter fit for the total collision rate $Γ$. We extracted a collision rate of $Γ= 0.646(1)\ \text{s}^{-1}$. This is compared to a value of $0.664(4)\ \text{s}^{-1}$ found by the commonly used method of zero-trap depth extrapolation, a $2.8\%$ correction that is a result of our model fully taking ensemble loss and heating into account. Finally, we report a five-fold increase in the precision of our collision rate extraction from the experimental data.
