Abstract
The Andyrchy facility was created for studying the energy spectrum and nuclear composition of primary cosmic rays in the region of a knee in the cosmic-ray spectrum. The position of this facility above the Baksan underground scintillation telescope allows simultaneous detection of electron-photon and high-energy muon components of extensive air showers. The parameters of this facility also allow it to be used for solving a number of other problems of cosmic-ray physics. Data since 1996 have been collected for several physical problems. The facility is described, and its performance characteristics are presented.
