The heavy-fermion superconductor UPt 3 shows many indications of unconventional superconductivity. In particular, the multiplicity of superconducting phases calls for an explanation in terms of a multi-component order parameter. As will be reviewed in this article, these phases have been mapped out

Recent results of several experimental studies on the superconducting behaviour of UPt, are reviewed. Special attention is given to the qualitative features: 1) the existence of two transitions at H = 0 and the phase diagram under a magnetic field applied both parallel (N//c) and perpendicular (Hlc)
The electronic instability in the highly correlated electron system UPt 3 gives rise to various intriguing phenomena at liquid-helium temperatures, among which the occurrence of unconventional superconductivity (T + = 0.49 K, T c = 0.44 K) has attracted most attention. In a magnetic field three supe
