Sumario:The ionization event spectra in the ME1/1 chamber from heavy charged particles produced by neutron background have been calculated by the HADRON code. Two problems associated with these background events are considered - decrease of the chamber efficiency and possible destruction of readout channels due to high local ionizations. The second problem was found to be potentially important that requires to study the possible ways of the chamber protection
