Abstract
The tetragonal heavy-fermion compound exhibits a superconducting ground state ( type, ) close to a magnetic instability. Here, we present angle-resolved resistivity measurements of the upper critical field . In-plane rotation of -type single crystals reveals a fourfold oscillation of . An extended weak-coupling BCS model for a -wave symmetry including strong Pauli-limiting effects confirms the aforementioned angular dependence and points towards symmetry of the order parameter.
