Scientific paper

The ATLAS detector is intended for testing the Standard Model and for seeking new physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In addition, it permits detecting cosmic-ray muons. At the same time, unusual bursts of the muon intensity that correlate with powerful solar flares were recorded and investigated earlier at the Baksan underground scintillation telescope in the period spanning 1981 and 2006 (2.5 solar cycles). The nature of these muon bursts and their relation to solar cosmic rays have so far remained not quite clear. The ATLAS detector possesses an excellent muon system that allows searches for similar muon bursts. Within the next few years, when the LHC and ATLAS should start operating, one expects an increase in the solar activity in the new 24th cycle. Owing to this, the probability of observing muon bursts may become higher.
