The main errors in energy estimation in individual events detected at the Yakutsk EAS array are analyzed. The data on the fraction of muons are considered. For inclined showers with energies exceeding 1019 eV, it is much larger than the value given by approximation at lower energies. This difference may be due to new processes arising upon interaction between particles with such energies, which leads to a significant increase in the muon component in the total primary-particle energy. |
