Minimum of the function χ2
Readings of all scintillation detectors have been used to search for the minimum of the function χ2 in the square with the width of 400 m and a
center determined by data with a step of 1 m. These readings have been compared with
calculated responses for E0=1020 eV multiplied by the coefficient C. This coefficient changed from 0.1 up to 4.5 with a step of 0.1.

Conclusions are model dependent
The most energetic EAS observed at the Yakutsk array may be induced by the primary particles with energy 2·1020 eV.
The primary protons may dominate at energies
1018 – 3·1019 eV. Heavy primary particles are possible at
energies below 1018 eV.

Conclusions are model dependent
The Coulomb scattering of charged particle (electrons, positrons)
and the pt distribution of hadrons (for muon scattering) should be taken into account precisely in calculations of lateral distributions of these particles.
