Abstract

Particle lateral distributions were investigated in cosmic ray air showers with energy \(E_{0}\simeq 10^{18}\) eV registered at the Yakutsk array with surface and underground scintillation detectors with \(E_{\mu}\simeq 1\times\sec\theta\) GeV threshold during the period of continuous observations from 1986 to 2016. The analysis covers events with arrival direction zenith angles \(\theta\leq 60^{\circ}\) within five intervals with step \(\Delta\cos\theta=0.1\). Experimental values were compared to simulation results obtained with the use of CORSIKA code within the framework of QGSJet-01-d hadron interaction model. The whole dataset points at probable cosmic ray composition which is close to proton one.
