Abstract
This paper describes the liquid scintillator veto system for the COSINE-100 dark matter experiment and its performance. The COSINE-100 detector consists of 8 NaI(Tl) crystals immersed in 2,200~L of linear alkylbenzene based liquid scintillator. The liquid scintillator tags between 65 and 75\% of the internal ^40K background in the 2--6~keV energy region. We also describe the background model for the liquid scintillator, which is primarily used to assess its energy calibration and threshold.
