A possible explanation of the "knee" in the extensive air shower (EAS) spectrum is a change of hadron-hadron interactions. One of such scenarios suggests a threshold production of new heavy particles or states of matter at the knee energy. If the appearance of the knee is related to these new objects, their decays should give considerable rise to very high energy muons, whose energy is not measured with existing EAS arrays without using special detectors for muon energy determination. In order to check this hypothesis, simultaneous evaluation of muon energy and the energy of EAS is required. The experiment to search for such muons in EAS was started at Baksan Neutrino Observatory in September 2002. The energy of muons in our experiment is estimated by means of the Baksan Underground Scintillation telescope (BUST), and the EAS electromagnetic component is measured by the "Andyrchy" array, which is located straight above the BUST.
