Abstract
We report an extremely high upper critical field in the noncentrosymmetric heavy fermion superconductor for a magnetic field along the tetragonal axis. possibly reaching 30 T is much higher than for and greatly exceeds the paramagnetic limiting field. The strong anisotropy of with extremely high for is qualitatively explained by the paramagnetic pair-breaking mechanism specific to the noncentrosymmetric superconductor. However, an unusual curve with a positive curvature for cannot be explained satisfactorily by conventional orbital pair-breaking models.
