Abstract
The effect of acoustic oscillations of the alpha-quartz crystalline la ttice on the behaviour of muonium polarization has been studied experi mentally. It is shown that when the frequency of the standing ultrasou nd wave coincides with one of the muonium quadrupole interaction frequ encies a specific broadening of the muonium line occurs; that is a muo nium acoustic resonance is observed. The possibilities of using this e ffect for investigating properties of solids by the muSR method are di scussed.
