Abstract
The first results of observations of acoustic signals generated by high-energy muons of extensive air showers, which propagate in a seismically stressed medium are presented. The cosmophysical method for monitoring the volume stressed state is tested using the experimental setup developed in the earthquake-prone region of Almaty at the Tien Shan High-Altitude Scientific Station of the Lebedev Physical Institute. High-amplitude acoustic signals correlated with the passage and interaction of muon groups in the Earth’s crust are detected for the first time.
