Abstract

The space-time evolution of a signal in scintillation detectors used at the Yakutsk array is calculated within the quark-gluon string model. It follows from the calculations of the temporal distributions of the signal that the time to sample all particles at the distances 100, 600, 1000, and 1500 m is 0.1, 1, 2.5, and 4 μs respectively. At large distances from the shower axis in the region of superhigh energies, about 60–70% of the signal is sampled within the sampling time of 2 μs adopted in the experiment. At the distance 600 m from the shower axis, the estimated sampling time of all particles agrees with the one adopted in the Yakutsk experiment.
