Introduction We investigate the source characteristics of picoseismicity recorded during a hydraulic fracturing in-situ experiment performed in Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Sweden. The experiment consisted of six stimulations driven by three different water injection schemes and was performed inside a 28 m long, horizontal borehole located at 410 m depth. The fracturing process was monitored with a variety of seismic networks covering a wide frequency band between 0.01 Hz and 100000 Hz including broadband seismometers, geophones, high-frequency accelerometers and acoustic emission sensors.
