Description

Results from a simulation of the background for a muon collider, and the response of a silicon tracking detector to this background are presented. The background due to decays of the 750 GeV mu+ and mu- beams was simulated using the MARS program, which included the infrastructure of the beam line elements near the detector and the 10 degree nozzle that shields the detector from this background. The ILCroot framework, along with the GEANT4 program, was used to simulate the response of the tracker and vertex silicon detectors to the muon-decay background remaining after the shielding nozzle. Results include the hit distributions in these detectors and the fractions of species-specific background particles producing these hits.
