  The hit response of silicon vertex and tracking detectors to muon collider
beam background and results of a study of hit reducing techniques are
presented. The background caused by decays of the 750 GeV/c m+ and m- beams was
simulated using the MARS15 program, which included the infrastructure of the
beam line elements near the detector and the 10 degree nozzles that shield the
detector from this background. The ILCRoot framework, along with the Geant4
program, was used to simulate the hit response of the silicon vertex and
tracker detectors to the muon decay background remaining after the shielding
nozzles. The background hit reducing techniques include timing, energy
deposition, and hit location correlation in the double layer geometry.
