| Summary: | The accurate and precise extraction of information from a modern particle detector, such as an electromagnetic calorimeter, may be complicated and challenging. In order to overcome the difficulties, we process the simulated detector outputs using the deep-learning methodology. Our algorithmic approach makes use of a known network architecture, which has been modified to fit the problems at hand. The results are of high quality (biases of order 1 to 2%) and, moreover, indicate that most of the information may be derived from only a fraction of the detector. We conclude that such an analysis helps us understand the essential mechanism of the detector and should be performed as part of its design procedure.
