Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations of the veto performance for large-scale liquid xenon dark matter detectors are presented. A number of possible veto configurations are considered with the aim of maximising the neutron and gamma rejection efficiency. Also discussed are the shielding requirements for reducing the external gamma background.
