Abstract
The results of the analysis of the first experimental data on the energy release of inclined muon groups of cosmic rays in the water Cherenkov detector, obtained at the NEVOD-DECOR complex, are presented. It was found that the average specific energy release in the Cherenkov calorimeter (normalized to the muon densitymeasured by the data of the coordinate detector)weakly depends on the muon density; however, the significant dependence on the zenith angle is observed, which indicates an increase in the average muon energy in groups with an increase in the zenith angle.
