Abstract

The responses of ground and underground muon scintillation detectors of the Yakutsk extensive air shower (EAS) array from primary particles with the energy E 0 ≥ 1017 eV 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 E 0 is lower by a factor of about 1.41 than that previously obtained within the calorimetric method for EASs.
