摘要
A model of the underground part of the Yakutsk array was developed. The signals from muon scintillation detectors were calculated using the GEANT4 code within this model. It was shown that the signals strongly fluctuate and may be several times higher that the mean ionization energy losses by a single muon. These large losses imitate high muon multiplicity in the case of a low muon density. It was also shown that there are many gamma particles near the shower axis, which significantly contribute to signals in underground detectors and thus make data interpretation difficult.
