AB - We here present inelastic neutron scattering results on the strongly correlated cubic superconductor UBe13(Tc = 0.85 K) obtained on a large single crystal by high-resolution cold neutron three-axis spectroscopy. Weobserved spin dynamics at a unique momentum space position building up below T ∼ 50 K and changingsignificantly on entering the superconducting state. The observed short-range longitudinal character of thecorrelations can be understood as a result of competing magnetic interactions. The energy dependence in thenormal state reflects the energy scales determined from specific heat, whereas the low-temperature data suggestthe opening of a superconducting gap. Our findings are consistent with a superconducting order parameterexhibiting s± or d-wave symmetry and placing pure UBe13 in the strong coupling regime.
