Reestimation of the energy of extensive air showers at the Yakutsk EAS array with the CORSIKA package

The responses of ground and underground muon scintillation detectors of the Yakutsk extensive air shower (EAS) array from primary particles with the energy E0 ≥ 1017 eV have been calculated within the QGSJET-01-d, QGSJET-II-04, SIBILL, and EPOS-LHC models with the CORSIKA package. A new estimate obtained for E0 is lower by a factor of about 1.41 than that previously obtained within the calorimetric method for EASs.
