Commissioning of the SND@LHC detector — •Andrew Picot Conaboy — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland

The Scattering and Neutrino Detector at the LHC (SND@LHC) is a compact experiment installed 480 m from the ATLAS interaction point. SND@LHC allows for a novel investigation of all three neutrino flavours in the pseudo-rapidity range 7.2 < η < 8.6, with energies from 100 GeV to the TeV scale. Crucial for the reconstruction of neutrino charged current events, is the identification of the outgoing lepton: SND@LHC will reconstruct muons using iron blocks interleaved with planes of plastic scintillators coupled to silicon-photomultipliers. This technology will also be used to perform hadronic calorimetry. In the CERN north area, the muon system was installed for pion and muon test beams of energies in the 100 GeV to 300 GeV range. Presented in this contribution is the current status of muon system analyses from CERN test beams.
