Results are presented on CH₃ radical stabilization in solid CH₄ matrix from the gas phase and their study by EPR. In the first series of experiments, the samples are obtained by deposition on a substrate at T_dep= 4.2 K and studied in temperature range T_rec = 1.4-4.2 K. In the second series of the experiments, the relevant temperatures are: T_dep=15-17 K, T_dep=15-17 K. The relative intensity of the forbidden electron-proton transitions is measured versus microwave power and the sample temperature. The experimental result analysis testify to existence of two temperature regions with different degrees of correlation between the radical and matrix molecules orientation motion. Keywords: electron paramagnetic resonance, matrix isolation, methyl radical, solid methane, molecular rotation.
