Baby MIND will be installed inside the WAGASCI cavern at J-PARC in the beginning of 2018. Baby MIND will be able to measure the charge and momentum of the outgoing muon from neutrino charged current interactions, to enable full neutrino event reconstruction in WAGASCI.
During the summer of 2017, Baby MIND was operated and characterised at the T9 test beam at CERN. Results from this test beam will be presented, including charge identification performance and momentum resolution for charged tracks. These results will be compared to the Monte Carlo simulations.
