Abstract
A method of detection of muon groups with multiplicity n(mu)(E-mu grea ter than or equal to 220 GeV) > 1500 is presented. Such events give in formation about the flux of primary nuclei with energy E-N > 10(16) eV . The systematic errors of the method have been studied. The error in determining n(mu) is less than or equal to 15%. Data from detection of muon groups with n(mu)(E-mu greater than or equal to 220 GeV) > 1500 obtained over exposure time T = 35410 h are presented. (C) 1997 Elsevi er Science B.V.
