The Role of VHE Muons in Explanation of Unusual Events Observed in Cosmic Rays

Bogdanov A. G., Petrukhin A. A., Shalabaeva A. V.

Unusual events observed in cosmic-ray experiments, which cannot be explained in frame of modern theories and models, are considered. The peculiarities of VHE ( 100 TeV) muon interactions and their possible contribution to production of various unusual events in cosmic rays are analyzed. Some preliminary results obtained for explanation of unusual events detected in Tien-Shan calorimeter and in the Pamir experiment are discussed.
