On the application of a priori cascade information when reconstructing hadron parameters in a calorimeter

In this article we examine a possibility to apply, during the reconstruction of hadron energy and direction in a multilayer calorimeter, a priori information on hadronic cascades in the specified calorimeter - the distribution of the energy deposition in the cascade. Parametric formulas describing the spatial distribution of the mean energy deposition in the hadronic cascade have been obtained. For the simulated events we compare these methods with the trivial methods traditionally used. (orig.)
