Abstract. The energy spectrum of cosmic ray muons in the energy range from several TeV to ~1 PeV obtained by means of the analysis of multiple interactions of muons (pair meter technique) in the Baksan underground scintillation telescope is presented. Some evidence for the additional muon flux (to the conventional one from pion and kaon decays) has been obtained at energies ~100 TeV.
