- Abstract
Here we consider the results of direct measurements of muons in extensive air showers with zenith angles and energy above eV, obtained at the Pierre Auger Observatory and Yakutsk array. In both experiments muons were registered with underground scintillation detectors with GeV energy threshold. Measured density values were compared to theoretical predictions calculated within the framework of the qgsjet-ii.04 hadron interaction model. They differ by factor (stat). We demonstrate that this difference is due to overestimation of muon densities by 1.22 times and underestimation of primary energy by 1.25 times in the Auger experiment.
