Abstract
The lateral distribution function of high energy muons in EAS around the knee (5.9≤lgNe≤7.1) has been measured for near vertical showers (θ≤20°, effective muon threshold energy is 230 GeV). The measurements have been performed at the Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope (BUST). The electromagnetic component is measured by the “Andyrchy” EAS array, located above the BUST. The knee in the EAS size spectrum is found to be at lgNe≈6.3. The experimental results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
