Abstract
We have studied the effect of doping on the superconducting transition temperature T-c and on the residual resistivity rho(0) of the heavy-f ermion superconductor UPd2Al3. We have found a general correlation bet ween the increase of rho(0) and the decrease of T-c which seems to be independent of the type of dopant. We interprete this correlation as a further evidence for a large anisotropy of the superconducting order parameter.
