Abstract
An approach to the estimating the parameters of cascade showers with unknown axes, generated in NEVOD Cherenkov water detector (CWD) by muons with zenith angles in the range from 50° to 90°, is described. A technique for estimating the position of a cascade axis using the CWD response is proposed, along with criteria that would allow us to select events with cascades from ones with intense releases of energy. The technique and the criteria are tested on cascades generated by near-horizon high-energy muons, registered by the DECOR tracking detector. Preliminary results from measuring the energy spectrum of cascade showers are presented.
