The Cooper pair of this SC is dominant spin-triplet. Summary 14/14 • CePt3Si is theoretically expected that the lack of inversion symmetry gives rise to a mixture of spin-singlet and spin-triplet Cooper pair. • Knight shift doesn’t decrease below Tc at 2T. • It suggests that the Cooper pair of CePt3Si is dominated by spintriplet component. Future work • Knight shift measurement is necessary under low magnetic fields. • Use single crystal sample without disorder.
