Abstract
This work was carried out during the assembly phase of the COherent elastic Neutrino nUcleus Scattering (CONUS) experiment which is trying to detect the coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering process with a nuclear power plant as neutrino source. The experimental set-up has been initially tested in an underground laboratory at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK) in Heidelberg. The goal for this thesis was the assembly and tuning of its muonveto system as well as a general test of its shielding as a whole. Therefore the data acquisition unit has been set-up and measurements were carried out with a germanium detector to quantify the obtained energy spectra and veto efficiencies. With the testing phase almost completed, the CONUS experiment will start its detection process within 2017.
