Abstract

We present the results of our study of the temporal structure of the muon disk at the Yakutsk array in extensive air showers with primary energies E 0 ≥ 5 × 1016 eV at distances of 250–1500 m from the shower axis obtained using a large muon detector with an area of 184 m2 and a detection threshold of E μ ≈ 0.5 sec θ GeV. We have found two components with different muon disk thicknesses that require significant revisions of our view of the development of extensive air showers.
