Abstract The superconducting properties of the heavy fermion UPt 3 have been changed by irradiation with high energy electrons which creates point defects in a reproducible and controled way. Measurements of the residual resistivity, critical temperature, upper critical field and thermal conductivity have been realized on these irradiated samples. The strong suppresion of superconductivity with increasing defect concentration is in agreement with the theory of unconventional superconductivity. However, our thermal conductivity data contradicts the simple predictions derived from the most popular modelsE 1g and E 2u) of the superconducting order parameter in UPt 3 .
