Abstract:
The responses of ground and underground muon scintillation detectors of the Yakutsk extensive air shower (EAS) array from primary particles with the energy E0≥1017E0≥1017eV have been calculated within the QGSJET-01-d, QGSJET-II-04, SIBILL, and EPOS-LHC models with the CORSIKA package. A new estimate obtained for E0E0 is lower by a factor of about 1.411.41 than that previously obtained within the calorimetric method for EASs.
