14.   hadron background affects mostly channels with missing energy or precise di-jet mass reconstruction because of extra energy injected in the event; occupancy appears negligible in Barrel Cal and modest in Vertex tracking with time stamping ~ 10-20 ns, preliminary results documented in CLIC Note in preparation; optimisation of time stamping strategy (very precise timing at a single layer or distributed timing in innermost tracking layers) requires to consider constraints from layer material budget, power dissipation and pixel sizes. study pattern recognition efficiency and performance for different VXD concepts (in collaboration with Alex Kluge et al.) on physics benchmarks +   hadrons and PAIR background.
