Abstract
Comparing the signals measured by the surface and underground scintillator detectors of the Yakutsk Extensive Air Shower Array, we place upper limits on the integral flux and the fraction of primary cosmic-ray photons with energies , , and . The large collected statistics of the showers measured by large-area muon detectors provides a sensitivity to photon fractions , thus achieving precision previously unreachable at ultrahigh energies.
