摘要：

Preliminary results are reported from an investigation of the temporal structure of the muon disk in extensive air showers (EASs) with primary energy E-0 greater than or equal to 6 X 10(16) eV at distances 100-1500 m from the axis. The investigation is performed at the Yakutsk array using the large muon detector, which commenced operation in November 1995, with a planned area 184 m(2) and a detection threshold E mu approximate to 0.5.sec theta GeV. For E-0 > 10(18) eV it is found that the thickness of the muon disk tends to decrease. This requires substantial changes in our notions of the development of EASs.
