Scientific paper

EXO200 is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^136Xe. This is process has not been observed and only occurs if the neutrino has a Majorana mass. If ^136Xe decays via neutrinoless double beta decay it has a half life of <10^23yr. For such a low rate backgrounds need to be kept to a minimum. One source of backgrounds is cosmic-ray muons. Muons need to be vetoed with a efficiency of >90% for EXO--200 to achieve it's desired sensitivity. I will to talk about the commissioning of the veto system and it's performance as part of the EXO--200 cosmic ray veto.
