| contents | We propose a novel laboratory test of gravity combining seismic-wave measurements with cosmic-ray muon detections. Quantum-gravity corrections to the anharmonic Debye model are derived, yielding a modified bulk modulus that encodes deviations from standard gravity. The usual dependence on density, a dominant source of uncertainty, is removed via muon tomography and seismic velocities measurement. We show that this setup can constrain gravity parameters at a level comparable to current laboratory experiments. Prospects for further improvements are briefly discussed. |
