Arrival-time distributions of muons with E(mu) greater than 1 GeV in air showers with electron sizes from 10 to the 6.5th to 10 to the 8th have been studied at the Akeno air-shower array (930 g/sq cm atmospheric depth, 900 m above sea level) with four 4-sq-m scintillation detectors and a 100-MHz storage oscilloscope. The time response of the whole system to a single muon is 4.3 ns and 8.1 ns in rise time and FWHM, respectively. The median rise times between 20 and 70 percent of the integrated full-muon signal are compared with those expected from various models of high-energy particle interactions. Also described is a new observation on arrival-time distributions of muons and those of electrons at large core distances in air showers with electron sizes above 5 x 10 to the 8th.
