Mass composition of cosmic rays with energy above 10**17 eV according to surface detectors of the Yakutsk EAS array

We discuss the lateral distribution of charged particles in extensive air showers with energy above $10^{17}$ eV measured by surface scintillation detectors of Yakutsk EAS array. The analysis covers the data obtained during the period from 1977 to 2013. Experimental values are compared to theoretica...
