Description
The Sydney University Giant Air-shower Recorder (SUGAR) measured the muon component
of extensive air showers from muon-detector readings. Data of SUGAR allows us to reconstruct
the empirical dependence of muon density on the distance from the axis of the shower -lateral
distribution function (LDF). We compare this function with the predictions of hadronic interaction
model QGSJET-II-04 for proton and iron with primary energy 1017 – 1018.5 eV.
